Etive Technologies

Series A in 2014
Etive evolved out of the idea of creating an electronic Log Book of information about a home, which would benefit all occupants throughout the lifetime of the property. Originally developed in 2005, we set up a trades company to understand what information we could capture about a home and how we could capture this information electronically for the benefit of the occupant and other people. We were initially focused on the new homes sector and enjoyed rapid growth through the mid noughties. From 2009 we refocused the business and our services which expanded and evolved to include private and social homes, people, energy & smart metering, employment & education and health & well being.
