Nest co-founder Matt Rogers has announced that he is leaving the tech company, a day after Google claimed that the US based manufacturer of home automation equipment has reunited with their hardware team. He said he decide to leave the company inorder to spend more time Incite.org, a Venture Capital(VC) company and product development lab where he is one of the co-founders too. Rogers tweeted from his twitter handle @nestmatt - ''After almost nine incredible, intense years working to build Nest, I've decided to begin my transition to dedicate more of my time to Incite.org, as well as to start thinking about the next adventure''. Nest was co-founded in 2011 by the Chief Product Officer Matt Rogers and former CEO.
Google had bought the US based start-up for home automation in 2014 for $3.2 billion. Since Nest collaborated with Google in 2014, they've experienced increased momentum. The company doubled it's hardware portfolio last year by selling more of their products and device in the previous year than they did two years ago. Therefore, the departure of Matt Rogers, Nest last co-founder, marks the end of a chapter for the company, according to CNET. Nest is a noted name in the world of smart home devices with its eponymous thermostat and smoke detector and "Nest Cam" smart security camera products.
