Carpinteria, California - a coastal town just 10 miles south of Santa Barbara - has attracted tourists for years touting its claim as "the world's safest beach."
But lately, Carpinteria (or as some of the locals call it, Carp) has been attracting people for a different reason - it's home to Procore, one of the hottest tech companies in the country.
Procore, which builds construction management software, was started up 17 years ago, but as founder and chief exec Tooey Courtemanche told Business Insider in a recent interview, things didn't really take off for the company until 2012.
