AMHERST, Mass. – Qteros, the biofuel company that grew from discovery of the Q Microbe by researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, has been revived by three of the company’s original founders and is primed for success with a new, less capital-intensive business model, says CEO Stephan Rogers of Amherst.
Rogers, a founder in 2007 of SunEthanol, Qteros’s precursor, served as chief operating officer, managed business development, finance, personnel and assisted in raising $35 million for that earlier startup.
