If so, how do you figure out what the better choice is when you're making those purchase decisions? In a bid to try to make it easier for consumers to figure that out, Enervee (www.enervee.com) recently rolled out a new tool to provide an "Enervee Score" to help rate products on their energy efficiency and cost--and is now trying to get manufacturers, retailers, and others to adopt its tool. We spoke with CEO and founder Matthias Kurwig on the idea behind the startup, and how he's applying his experience as COO of Neo@Ogilvy to his new Santa Monica startup. What is Enervee? Matthias Kurwig: Enervee is the world's first, personal energy efficiency scoring platform. What we do (More...) http://bit.ly/RvWUAz --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lowercase Capital Boots Up New LA Investment Fund ---- Another, Silicon Valley investor--Chris Sacca--has his eyes on investments in Los Angeles, saying that his super angel fund, Lowercase Capital, has just hired a full time director in Los Angeles to make investments in local startups. The news came at a PandoDaily event Thursday evening. Sacca's apparently has only one Southern California investment so far, an investment earlier this year in Big Frame. Sacca was previously Head of Special Iniviatives at Google, before he became a very active angel investor, with investments in such companies as Facebook, Bit.ly, Kickstarter, Twitter, Uber, Photobucket, Twilio, and others. Sacca did not say how large of a fund he is dedicating to Los Angeles investments. International Rectifier To Shut El Segundo Plant In March ---- El Segundo-based International Rectifier, a manufacturer of analog, digital, and mixed signal ICs, said it expects to close its El Segundo based fabrication facility by the end of March, 2013. International Rectifier had announced the move in August. IR is also downsizing its Newport, Wales fabrication facility. International Rectifier said the cuts are expected to save it approximately $40M a year, when completed. International Rectifier did not say how many employees are being cut in the move. United Online: FTD Split Expected By August 2013 ---- Woodland Hills-based United Online, the hybrid Internet Service Provider and flower delivery service (via FTD), reported yesterday in its quarterly results that it now expects to spin off FTD as an independent, publicly traded company by August of 2013. United Online also said it is looking at "strategic alternatives" for its other businesses. United Online had said in August that it was looking to split the two businesses. United Online owns Memory Lane, Classmates, MyPoints, NetZero, and Juno. NewEgg Kicks Off Early Holiday Shopping Season ---- It looks like holiday shopping season has officially launched, at least for electronic e-commerce retailer NewEgg, which said Thursday that it has launched its "Black November" deals, offering up sales on popular products such as laptop, ultrabooks, tablets, televisions, cameras, computer components and video games. NewEgg also said it will launch a new program which will provide a lowest price guarantee on products purchase from November 1st through December 24th, where it will refund the difference if a customer purchases and item and finds that same item at certain online retailers for less for a lower price. NewEgg is bypassing the traditional holiday sales launch on Black Friday, where retailers have usually kicked off the season with extra low prices and door busting offers. NewEgg is based in the City of Industry, and quietly reached over $2 billion in sales, and is one of Southern California's biggest e-commerce retailers. NewEgg also launched sales on November 1st last year. Club W Doubles Down On Accelerators With Investment From 500Startups ---- Club W, the personalized wine subscription service at AmplifyLA, has doubled down with accelerators, and is part of a new class of startups announced by 500Startups earlier this week. 500Startups said that ClubW--founded by Xander Oxman, Mark Lynn, Geoff McFarlane--was selected as part of its fifth class of accelerator companies. 500Startups invests between $25,000 and $250,000 in startups selected by the group, which usually work with the accelerator to help hone their business. In this case, the company apparently has added 500Startups but continues to work with AmplifyLA. ClubW has operations both at AmplifyLA in Venice, as well as in Denver. The company was one of two to connect with 500Startups latest class, the other being Los Angeles-based Chewse, which helps groups order out from restaurants. http://www.socaltech.com/intelligence/index.php?action=showdeal&id=46428 ZapMobi Takes On Mobile Websites ---- Zapmobi, which is based in Los Angeles, said Thursday that it has launched a new service which helps users create scalable, mobile websites that run on thousands of mobile devices. The new service said it has created a point, click, and drag mobile website builder which makes it easy for users to serve up mobile pages. The firm said it offers up free and premium subscription plans. Zapmobi is headed by Charlie Fallman. Fisker Automotive Offers Up Parking Lot For Hurricane Recovery ---- Hurricane Sandy may have kicked the auto firm while it was down, but Fisker Automotive is fighting back by offering up the parking lot of its Wilmington, Delaware automotive plant as a headquarters location for utility crews looking to reconnect power on the East coast. Fisker said it is providing a location for over 350 personnel manning 300 utility and tree-trimming trucks associated with Delmarva Power, as a home base for power and road restoration efforts. Anaheim-based Fisker Automotive has a factory in Delaware--a former plant for GM--working on its future electric vehicles. Chewse Joins 500 Startups ---- Silicon valley startup incubator program 500 Startups announced its latest batch of startups Wednesday, with a surprise: a local, Santa Monica firm among the fifth batch of companies being backed by the accelerator. 500 Startups said that Santa Monica-based Chewse, which is developing a marketplace for groups to easily order food together, has joined the accelerator, which invests between $25,000 and $250,000 in Internet startups, and helps them get funded and off the ground. Chewse was founded by Tracy Lawrence and Jeff Schenck. Schenck was formerly at Adly. The idea of group ordering might be familiar to those in the Santa Monica startup scene; now defunct BetterWorks had offered a similar feature which let employees of companies put in and coordinate individual orders from restaurants for delivery to the office. Hurricane Sandy Provides More Woes For Fisker Automotive ---- It looks like Hurricane Sandy didn't limit its damage to the East Coast. The Hurricane apparently has inflicted its damage on Southern California hybrid automaker Fisker Automotive, after surging water from the storm caused sixteen of Fisker's Karma luxury hybrids to go up in flames in Port Newark, New Jersey. The Irvine-based startup's cars--which were at a shipping facility awaiting delivery--caught fire after being submerged by the storm. A photo of the destroyed cars was posted by Jalopnik. Exact cause of the fires have not been determined. Although no automobile is hurricane and water proof--there are undoubtedly hundreds if not thousands of cars now headed for the scrap heap due to Hurricane Sandy--the fires can't be good for Fisker, which has had a number of spontaneous ignition with its automobiles come to light over the last year. http://updates.jalopnik.com/post/34669789863/more-than-a-dozen-fisker-karma-hybrids-caught-fire-and Boingo Wins Dallas Love Field ---- Boingo Wireless, the Wi-Fi hotspot network operator, has scored a win at the Dallas Love Field airport, the company said Thursday. The Los Angeles company said that it will will install, manage and operate neutral host Wi-Fi and DAS networks for the airport as part of a modernization initiative. Financial impact of the win was not announced. Boingo already operates Wi-Fi networks at a significant number of airports worldwide, though it has yet to get a chance at business at hometown airport LAX. Boingo said its enhanced wireless services will launch in Q1 2013 as part of the opening of a remodeled Love Field complex, with further rollout through 2014. Invested.in Gets $830K More In Seed Funding ---- Invested.in, the developer of a web-based platform for crowdfunding which is part of AmplifyLA, is announced Thursday that it has raised $830,000 more in a seed funding round. The round was led by Kamran Pourzanjani, the founder of PriceGrabber who is now head of Bestcovery. The round also included Siemer Ventures, Canyon Creek Capital, Karlin Ventures, Gordon Crawford, David Carter, Mark Schwartz, Michael Liou, Chairul Irawan, Chris Grey, Steven Roussey, Alan Stern, Irv Weintraub, Steve Reich, Mark Kolokotrones, Brad Schwartz, Terry Kay and Amplify LA. Invested.in, which is based in Los Angeles, is headed by Alon Goren. The firm's platform has been used by nonprofits, charities, individuals, and businesses to power crowdfunding for all kinds of projects. http://www.socaltech.com/intelligence/index.php?action=showdeal&id=46424 Atara Biotherapeutics Gets Funding From Amgen, KPCB ---- Thousand Oaks-based Amgen and venture firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers have put their backing behind a new, Westlake Village based drug development firm, Atara Biotherapeutics, in an unusual spinout of technology from the biotech giant. According to Amgen and KPCB, Atara Biotherapeutics will have licenses to six Amgen assets, in various stages of development, ranging from preclinical to Phase 1. Financial details of the funding were not announced. The move is unusual in that Amgen--unlike many of its biotech competitors in other regions--for holding its technology close to the vest, and not spinning out technology from the company. Atara will have facilities both near Amgen's Thousand oaks campus, in addition to operations in the Bay Area. Amgen and KPCB said Atara will focus on treatments for patients with chronic diseases in therapeutic areas including nephrology and oncology. The new company will be headed by Isaac Ciechanover, M.D., a former partner at KPCB. http://www.socaltech.com/intelligence/index.php?action=showdeal&id=46423 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- MARKETPLACE Reach 10000+ readers for 5 days for $250 Post your marketplace ad at: http://www.socaltech.com/postad.html ------------------------------ADVERTISEMENT------------------------------- Binary Pulse Technology Marketing.
