"We want to position Connecticut as the preferred location to grow clean tech jobs,” said Governor M. Jodi Rell, who announced the fund in November."

 It seems to me that it will take a lot more than $9M to establish Connecticut "as the preferred location to grow clean tech jobs".   Don't get me wrong, it's cool that they are doing it, and that more funding is available, but $9M isn't enough to fund ONE sizable startup, let alone create a cluster or hub.  Even if you disregard the size of the fund, creating a positive environment for start-ups requires much more than money.  You need the right people around too.  Experienced entrepreneurs, VC's, Angels, customers, etc., etc.

I wish them all the luck, and would have just reported the fund, but the quote struck me as a little optimistic.
