Chris Lee is the Founder and Chairman of Solgen Power. Solgen, which employs over 1300 team members, was recently recognized by Financial Times as the 6th fastest-growing privately held company in the Nation. This was all accomplished in under 5.5 years of being in business. Recently, Chris closed on a private equity deal that valued Solgen at $360M, his second 9-Figure exit in the last 12 months. Beyond his business accolades, Chris is first and foremost a family man. He and his wife, Andrea have been married for 17 years and are raising 5 beautiful children on a 23-acre hobby farm in Washington State. Chris is a leader, successful entrepreneur, and member of the Forbes Business Council. He bootstrapped his success in the Solar industry before building an extensive real estate portfolio focused on multi-family & short-term rentals. Chris is most passionate about helping others achieve success and fighting for the causes closest to his heart. That passion led Chris to launch "The Founder Podcast," A top 30 Business show and one of the fastest-growing podcasts in the world.
In this episode, Chris and Brad discuss how the road to success is not always a straight line. Chris discusses what it takes for a company to exit.
