Startup entrepreneurs share a lot in common. Sure, there’s a general road map for starting a business, but then there are the countless other factors that decide to show up along the way. Figuring out how and whom to hire, determining the best way to raise capital, managing a growing team, the list goes on.

When the company he was working with at the time offered him a more serious job, he recognized that what he was doing was important enough to go out on his own.
Today I’m talking with JP Mai, Founder, and CEO of JPM Silicon. His company has the admirable goal of producing carbon-neutral silicon used to power up solar cells. We’ll hear about how he first got interested in the technology, why carbon neutrality is important, and we’ll hear some sage advice based on his experiences of starting his company.
