Matt Golden is the founder and CEO of Recurve, a company that enables demand flexibility to procure virtual power plants to support a resilient, stable, low-carbon grid.

Recurve provides revenue-grade telemetry to enable buildings and their occupants to participate in decarbonizing the grid. From smart thermostats and heat pumps to electric vehicle charging and both electric and thermal storage, the Recurve platform makes a market for all demand flexibility from behind-the-meter to be quantified, integrated, and paid as a resource.

Matt has provided his expertise on demand-side technologies, markets, and finance as a serial entrepreneur and policy advocate. He has testified before the US Senate, UK Parliament, and International Energy Agency, spoke at COP21, and has been featured in numerous articles and publications, including an appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres show.

Previously, Matt helped create Sustainable Spaces, later renamed Recurve (1.0) — the leading tablet-based energy auditing software for the home performance industry built off his experience as a licensed contractor who audited and retrofitted thousands of California homes. Uplight acquired this earlier version of Recurve in 2011.

Matt holds a bachelor’s degree in foreign relations from Georgetown University and is a recovering licensed California contractor.
