About Me

Steve NewcombOver the past 16 years, I have been involved in 5 successful startup companies ranging from an energy company, to several .com companies.  Now I am focusing all of my attention on creating the tipping point in the sustainability movement by pushing initiatives in government, business and the broader social landscape. 




Given that everything we do on the web requires elecricity, I have decided to make my own website carbon neutral. To do this I have joined the CO2Stats.com program whereby I post their widget and they invest in Green projects to offset the electricty required by my servers to run this site.


My Initiatives

Global Sustainability AllianceMany people are curious, what I am doing since I left Powerset.  Well, the short story is that I have decided to dedicate myself to what I call the new Green Economy and I am working on several initiatives with other leaders in government and businesses that all fall under the responsibility of non-profit that I am founding called SF Green

I plan to use blognewcomb.com to publish my progress on my initiatives as well as a platform to consolidate and share the most important information in the Green space so that it's easier for someone to get up to speed on the key issues.

A Carbon Fund for San Francisco?

San Francisco Carbon FundIn a forward released a couple of weeks ago, the Mayor's office announced it would be creating a San Francisco Carbon Fund for local green activities designed to mitigate or “offset” greenhouse gas emissions. I'm going to be getting directly involved in this one and I will let you know how its going.

There isn't much detail yet, but I have a meeting that I am scheduling with a rep from the Mayor's office to discuss.  I have a lot of innovative ideas in this sector (my first gig was as an energy capacity trader at an energy trading company)

I don't want to spill the beans on my ideas just yet, but I will let everyone know how its going and post when there is something solid to report.  If you have ideas for how a city carbon fund could work, let me know.
