Andy Moon

Yo, so you gotta hear about Andy Moon. This guy’s the real deal in the climate startup world. He’s a total beast who’s been crushing it across the board. Started out at McKinsey, big name, right? But even then, he was all about sustainability and climate stuff, helping shape reports on renewable energy and climate change. Dude’s got that analytical brain but also cares mad deep about making a difference.

Then he jumped into the solar game with SunEdison, helping them nail their first big solar financing deals. That’s when he started messing with some serious money, over 200 million bucks raised from big investors, and he was already structuring some of the first private equity and bonds in solar. No cap, he’s been in the trenches on the finance side and knew how to make solar projects happen at scale.

But what really shows his heart? Co-founding SunFarmer, a Y Combinator-backed social enterprise. They installed over 1,500 solar systems in Asia, hospitals, schools, farms, mainly in developing countries. That’s where he jumped into the deep end, bringing clean energy to people who really need it. That’s the kind of person who doesn’t just talk; he acts.

After that, he got involved with Carbon180 as an Entrepreneur in Residence, where he was prototyping real solutions for greening real estate and the built environment. Basically, he’s always looking for ways to push sustainability forward, not just talk about it. Then he co-founded Reunion, a company all about climate and sustainability innovation. He’s the CEO now, pushing the needle on climate tech and impact investing.

What’s wild is he’s also got a solid academic background, Stanford, Phi Beta Kappa, and even did exec programs at Harvard with the World Economic Forum. So, he’s got the brains and the network to back it up. Plus, he’s been recognized as a Young Global Leader by WEF in 2016, which means he’s seen as a serious player on the global stage.

All of this? It screams one thing: Andy is driven by a genuine want to fix shit. He’s not just about making money; he’s about making impact. He’s been in the trenches, raised serious cash, built tech, and now he’s leading the charge with Reunion to really change how we tackle climate issues. If you ask me, he’s one of those rare founders who’s not just in it for the hype but really wants to leave a mark.

That’s Andy Moon, an entrepreneur, climate warrior, and the guy you wanna keep your eye on if you care about the planet.
