Today, we are speaking with Kieran White. Co-Founder of Curo.

At Curo they help EV Fleet owners secure reliable charging without the need to build their own infrastructure. 

This has the double benefit of allowing existing infrastructure owners to maximize their assets. 

Today’s call is super fun. We discuss:

  • How he hustled his way into a job with Tesla at 18, even tho they claimed to only hire 21 and older 
  • The effect this exp had on him and how it led to him launching Curo 
  • How they help fleet owners find reliable charging without building infrastructure 
  • And how they help existing charging owners maximize their infrastructure
