About Me

Michael Gurau: Freeport, ME, United States; I have been a venture capitalist for fifteen years and am presently leading a regional innovation initiative designed to develop, activate and sustain industry/innovation clusters. Since 2001, I've managed CEI Community Ventures (www.ceicommunityventures.com). I'm also developing plans to create a new early stage venture capital fund called Clear Venture Partners (www.clearvcs.com).
