Another Bay Area company riding the surge of interest in energy efficiency is San Francisco-based Recurve, which provides detailed home energy audits and green energy remodeling to Bay Area homeowners.
“Five or six years ago, energy efficiency was such a backwater,” said president and co-founder Matt Golden, who remembers the days of being met with blank stares when he would talk about insulation and duct system leakage. “Everyone was like: There’s no money in energy efficiency.”
The company, which had 12 employees in 2007, has grown to 65. It is creating customized software that it plans to license to other contractors in the energy retrofit industry and is actively hiring software engineers. Golden, 35, is so sought after as a public policy leader that he spends much of his time in Washington these days.
Recurve, which raised a first round of venture funding in September 2008, is backed by RockPort Capital and Shasta Ventures.
