EcoPoint | Rifle, CO

EcoPoint is a technologically advanced environmental firm specializing in geographic mapping and analysis for projects ranging from small private parcels to large public works. Their team comprises GIS specialists, botanists, soil scientists, and biologists, who provide essential services to clients across various sectors—including Oil and Gas, hard rock mines, renewable energy, and right-of-way—as well as private landowners. All these clients rely on EcoPoint to meet rigorous environmental reporting requirements and restoration compliance.

Owners Kirsten and Michael Clancy initially approached the Colorado SBDC in the Northwest region after experiencing staggering 1,200% growth over five years, a pace that had outstripped their existing financial and workforce strategies.

• Working closely with multiple SBDC advisors, EcoPoint implemented critical operational improvements:
• Developed and rolled out a comprehensive budget and expense review process to effectively manage costs across departments and project managers.
• Ensured their team of 15 employees remained motivated and engaged throughout the implementation of the new procedures.
• Created a new, strategic position focused on executing updated marketing and brand strategies.

Kirsten Clancy praised the partnership, stating: “As a quickly growing company, EcoPoint has benefited immensely from the tools and advising offered through the Colorado SBDC. From scaling strategies to onboarding procedures to department budgeting, the SBDC provided time and consideration to our individual needs.”

Thanks to the support of the Colorado SBDC, EcoPoint successfully navigated the challenges of hyper-growth, establishing the internal controls necessary to sustain its success in the demanding field of environmental compliance.
