Established in 2015 by founder Cory Perdue, Datakwip is a Maryland-based private company offering cloud-based energy analytics and building optimization software. Aiming to “solve the energy crisis in the built environment,” Datakwip blends proprietary virtual sub-metering, intelligent dashboards, and managed services to reduce energy usage, cut costs, and support ESG goals—without requiring new hardware. With headquarters in Frederick, Maryland, and serving sectors such as healthcare, commercial real estate, manufacturing, and education, Datakwip addresses fragmented building data systems and delivers actionable insights for facility operators.
Datakwip began as a consulting firm in 2015 led by Cory Perdue. By 2017, it launched its flagship analytics platform along with utility incentive integration. From 2020 onward, Datakwip introduced partner-first onboarding tools and welcomed its first VAD/OEM partners in 2021. It has grown steadily, with between 1–10 employees and estimated annual revenues of $1–10 million. Its platform now supports portfolios across over 30 buildings. [datakwip.com], [incfact.com]
Datakwip has secured approximately $1–1.7 million through three rounds: Accelerator (Nov 2019), Seed (Apr/May 2020 with GreenGen Ventures, TEDCO, Maryland Momentum Fund, Chesapeake Bay Seed Capital), and a $750K late-stage VC from TEDCO (Nov 2022). PitchBook confirms its private VC-backed status with eight employees, seven investors, 11 patents issued. It wasn't listed in CB Insights' 2025 Fintech 100, but still maintains a negative Mosaic analyst score — common for niche clean-tech start-ups. Investors like GreenGen's Brad Dockser also joined as an advisory board member in 2020.
Datakwip delivers an end-to-end Energy Management + Facility Analytics platform. Key features include patented virtual sub-metering, auto-data tagging, predictive analytics, visual rule engine, custom dashboards, and secure API integrations. It offers Monitoring-Based Commissioning (MBCx) workflows that detect faults and forecast energy trends. The platform supports Energy Conservation Measure (ECM) modeling, benchmarking, rebates, and ESG compliance reporting. Scalability features include same-day onboarding, managed services, and partner-branded offerings. Third-party evaluations highlight a quick setup, high customer satisfaction, and value starting at around $400/year/user.
Key recent expansions include the 2.0 platform release in October 2020, featuring improved analytics and onboarding. Strategic enhancements such as MBCx and rule engine upgrades were launched in November 2020 and July 2020,, supplementing continuous R&D in edge-device integration. In December 2022, Datakwip expanded into digital twin visualization through its partnership with Akular. A bespoke dashboard for interactive energy modeling and modular pricing based on square footage was introduced in 2022. The Product Releases page is updated frequently, and Crunchbase signals nine recent “news & activity” items, including patent grants, executive hires, and industry recognition.
Datakwip’s culture emphasizes Respect, Accountability, Impact, Growth, and Innovation, according to their About page. The company prides itself on delivering measurable sustainability results—typically 15–30% energy savings in under nine months, often <24 hours of onboarding. Its advisory board includes Brad Dockser, CEO of GreenGen, highlighting a commitment to strategic partnerships. With fewer than 10 employees, the organization maintains a tight-knit, growth-focused environment rooted in hands-on collaboration across R&D, customer success, and channel management.
Datakwip serves building owners, facility managers, sustainability officers, energy auditors, and systems integrators in sectors like healthcare, education, manufacturing, and real estate. Customers record average savings of 15%+ with payback under nine months, and more than 30 buildings were active by April 2020. Featured case studies from organizations like Children’s National Medical Center, NAVFAC Smart Grid, and Andover Continuum illustrate successful integration with legacy BAS and utility programs.
