Abstract

Biofuels start-up KiOR was developing a proprietary technology that had the potential to dramatically impact the emerging renewable energy landscape: a process that converted cellulosic biomass into 'bio-crude,' a hydrocarbon mixture with properties to those of crude oil. KiOR had been operating as a virtual organization, but with venture financing in place, Founder and Chief Technology Officer Paul O'Connor and the KiOR board needed to decide where to headquarter their business.
Other setting(s):
2008
