Hambrecht, Chanel & Family Offices invited to The Soho Loft Energy Conference

SAN FRANCISCO - Jan. 27, 2015 - PRLog -- .
“RenewFi: New Industry Opportunities in Renewable Finance” will be held at the Topline Incubator  1402 S Marina Way, Richmond at the San Francisco Bay Area, CA.  It will bring together the bigwigs in the fields of solar development, clean technologies  and renewable energy, and intersect this with finance, enabling entrepreneurs to get the much needed investment to kick off their projects. It will be attended by individuals from different arenas including commercial real estate owners, impact investors, real estate investors, CFOs, accountants, solar executives, cleantech people and social and energy entrepreneurs.

David Drake, the Founder and Chairman of  Victoria Global, LDJ Capital and The Soho Loft Media Group,  says,  “We are very excited about this conference.  We will be showing the practical aspects of renewable energy financing – the benefits of increasing property values, tax breaks, while capturing your own energy. The conference aims to do exactly that - bring entrepreneurs, solar experts  and investors together - to launch and strike a powerful conversation among all players thus showcasing the benefits of renewable energy."

Renewable energy is the energy of the future with oil supply barely able to fulfill the world’s needs for another hundred years. Today, fossil fuels comprise 81.6 percent of our energy needs and  the  United States increasingly depends on fossil fuels.  Ozone layer depletion and acid rain are just few of the effects of fossil fuels. Alternative energy, one the other hand, helps us to be environmentally safe. There is a lot to learn from the event, including how to best use renewable energy.

The conference topics include: cross-funding opportunities and cross-investment strategies on renewable energy and  real estate;  investment opportunities and strategies on solar energy projects;  solar investment opportunities in Asia, South and Central America;  tax incentives and financing opportunities; renewable energy equity based funds for commercial  real estate; and waste conversion to energy.
