SunCast 031: Financing off-grid solar, Juan Fermin Rodriguez of Kingo Energy
Welcome to Episode 31 of SunCast
Today we will be spending time with Juan Fermin Rodriguez of Kingo Energy. Stick around if you're interested in hearing:
- The strategy behind starting an off-grid solar company focused on Latam instead of Africa and Asia
- The size of the Latam offgrid market
- The difference in technology's role in Latam versus other markets
- How Kingo has become one of the best-capitalized solar startups in Latin America
- And a detailed discussion of both their fundraising and go-to-market strategy
Today's episode is a doosy. I'll be honest; it was NOT what I expected. I would say that I enjoyed this conversation as much as any I've done, and I believe it's one of the most valuable we've brought to you yet.
