Bionavitas (http://www.bionavitas.com/) is a science research company creating new ways to grow algae "in order to address the pending global energy crisis." The company was founded in 2003 by Michael Weaver after he realized that flying one way from China to Seattle used enough fuel to power his car for 80 years. Before landing in algae, Weaver was a Microsoft consultant, as well as inventor of a process called online electronic discovery -- a digital system that handles electronic documents (and was, in part, responsible for bringing down Enron).
