Greentech Media

Greentech Media, a subsidiary of Wood Mackenzie, was a media company based in Massachusetts, United States, that generated daily reports, market research studies, and news on electricity systems and green technology and green jobs.[1]

It was founded in February 2007 by Scott Clavenna and Rick Thompson, and announced that it had raised $1 million in Series-A venture capital funding the following May.[2] It announced another $2.75 million Series-B round in May 2008.[3] The company had four offices, in Boston, New York, San Francisco and Munich.[4] In February 2021, Wood Mackenzie announced the closure of the Greentech Media website by March 2021, while podcasts would continue;[5] however, podcasts have since been terminated. Soon after, several Greentech Media journalists and staff members launched Canary Media, an independent affiliate of RMI.[6]
