????Opower

????Washington, DC-based Opower provides utility companies with cloud-based software aimed at minimizing energy waste. The company is growing quickly, working with data from more than 50 million U.S. homes. Opower expects to reduce American energy costs by $200 million in 2012. The company is not involved in solar energy -- an industry that has generally struggled in the markets -- and instead simply helps consumers cut down on current energy waste. CFO Thomas Kramer was previously with another IPO-ready software company, Cvent, which helps businesses plan and orchestrate conferences.
