About the Company
Blueoak Resouces (formerly BioMine) is a venture-backed start up developing novel solutions for recovering value from electronic waste. The company was co-founded by Priv Bradoo and Bryce Goodman in 2011 and, that year, was named Best New Alumni Venture by the Harvard Business School. Operations are currently based in Silicon Valley/San Francisco Bay Area.
About the Person
After graduating from Colorado State University in 1997 with a degree in mechanical engineering, Tobin Booth spent 6 formative years working for solar companies that specialized in power electronics, module manufacturing and system installation. In the process, he observed that the commercial solar industry suffered from a lack of coordination between technology providers and system designers and installers. This disconnect made it more difficult to implement even relatively small PV projects, and Booth saw it as an impediment to progress—one that needed to be eliminated to meet the growing demand for increasingly complex and larger systems. With this in mind, in 2003 Booth founded Blue Oak Energy, a full-service PV system design, engineering and construction firm. In the decade since, the company has provided a range of professional services to the public, commercial and utility market sectors, with a cumulative project portfolio approaching 500 MW.
