Madrone Capital Partners has invested $100 million in View, a manufacturer ofelectronically tinting glass for buildings, in one of the largest deals for a clean-technology company in the past 12 months.

The investment will enable the company to extend its market leadership and meet increasing demand for View Dynamic Glass. Madrone Capital Partners is a Menlo Park, California-based firm specializing in growth capital investments. Thomas Patterson, co-founder and general partner of Madrone Capital Partners, has joined View’s board of directors.
