The DOE’s newly formed ARPA-E — an Advanced Research Projects Agency for energy modeled after the Defense Department’s DARPA, which created the Internet — handed out $151 million in funding today to 37 companies and projects.
Some are venture-funded — companies backed by Khosla Ventures, Polaris, North Bridge, incTANK Ventures and the secretive X/Seed Capital are on the list. But most are still projects inside universities, federal labs or big companies. Some are in stealth mode, and some don’t even have Web sites.
