This week on Watt It Takes: Powerhouse CEO Emily Kirsch sits down with Michael Liebreich.
You may know Liebreich as the brain behind New Energy Finance, which was sold to Bloomberg in 2009.
But before that company, Leibreich started a ski-based travel startup and invested in a portfolio of companies that lost 90 percent of their value in the dot-com bust.
After that, he was "unemployable." But he used a team of interns to begin compiling data on clean energy investment. in this episode, he tells the story of how that became a 140-employee business that Bloomberg eventually acquired.
This conversation was recorded live (remotely) as part of an interview series in collaboration with Powerhouse and Greentech Media.
