CleanTechies was founded in 2008 by Ian Thomson, Marco Schmoecker and Ceylan Thomson, three passionate entrepreneurs with a strong interest in promoting environmentally and economically sustainable solutions. CleanTechies is headquartered in San Francisco.

Our Mission & Vision

CleanTechies is a leading green career site & environmental business network on clean technology. It provides insight, orientation, and opportunities for the Clean Tech community. CleanTechies focuses on renewable energy, resource efficiency, green building, and sustainable transportation.

The trend towards sustainability is driving more and more professionals and students into CleanTech, and CleanTechies aims at guiding them by covering industry trends, giving career advice, and facilitating career opportunities for job seekers in general and career changers in particular. While other sites offer only news feeds or endless job postings, CleanTechies provides informed commentary, useful resources, relevant services, and targeted professional opportunities all on one site that is simple to navigate.

CleanTechies has a strong social mission and is dedicated to supporting individuals and organizations in bringing clean technologies and green energy to more businesses, residences and communities.

CleanTechies’ vision is to unite CleanTechies who are collaborating globally and acting locally to provide products and services based on innovative technology that optimize the use of natural resources all around the world by offering cleaner or less wasteful and more economic alternatives to traditional products and services.

CleanTechies was recognized as a “Best Business Blog” by the Weblog Awards and as “Best Blog of the Day” by the Blog of the Day Awards in 2009.

The CleanTechies social network connects thousands of “CleanTechies” around the world, including professionals and students on LinkedIn, Xing, Facebook, and Twitter.
