Welcome to Episode 95 of SunCast!

Kyle Cherrick has had the good fortune of working for some of the Titans in the Solar Industry straight out of school. How many of you would like to have joined First Solar 6 months after IPO, or moved on to Axio Power as an early employee long before the SunEdison acquisition? Kyle got a front-seat view this and much more. Then he copy/pasted his learning into his own startup success.

Stay tuned to learn: 

• How a college job interview at General Mills turned Kyle towards the solar industry 
• How Kyle's clear goals and intentions earned him a spot at the table of what would become not one but two of the largest solar companies in the US in the 2000's 
• A behind-the-scenes look at the founding of First Solar from his first-hand encounter 
• How Kyle pivoted from Corporate success story to Startup Investor and Founder while keeping his full-time job 

I'll be at Intersolar N.America next week in SF, and we're hosting a networking event on Monday night - learn more at www.mysuncast.com.
