Paul Huelskamp

This story’s wild, let me tell you about Paul Huelskamp. This guy is the real deal in the renewable energy world. He’s a YC alum from Winter 2021, so he’s got that startup hustle locked in. But what’s crazy is his process – it’s like a rollercoaster through clean tech and investing, and he’s crushed it every step.

So, Paul’s been in the game for over 15 years, mostly in private equity and entrepreneurship around renewables. He’s worked at SunPower – you know, the big solar guys – doing utility-scale stuff and structured finance. Basically, he’s been deep in the trenches making big energy projects happen. Then he jumped into the investing scene at EverStream Capital, where he was sourcing and managing investments. That’s a big deal – he’s been close to the money side of things, spotting the winners early.

He was also a founding team member of EverStream Yield, which got snapped up by SunEdison and later turned into Terraform Power. So, he’s got a track record of building stuff that gets acquired or goes public. That’s no small feat. Then, he took his move into solar project development at White River Solar, which sold its solar assets to SunEdison. Basically, he’s seen the whole solar game from all angles.

But here’s where it gets interesting – he’s the co-founder and CEO of Moxion Power now. This isn’t just another startup; it’s focused on mobile energy storage tech. Think big batteries you can move around – super clutch for emergencies, events, or heavy-duty industrial stuff. His goal? To shake up how energy is stored and used, making it more flexible and reliable. Moxion got into YC W21, raised a ton from big investors, and is clearly on a mission to change the game.

What does all this say about him? Dude’s fueled by a real passion for clean tech and a love for creating things that actually matter. His process proves he’s in it for more than just chasing shiny VC exits – he’s about making a real impact. He’s jumped into the thick of it, from finance to hands-on project dev, now leading a company that’s pushing the limits of energy storage. Always hunting for the future trend in renewables, he’s got the skills and hustle to turn ideas into reality.

Bottom line? Paul Huelskamp is a guy who’s been in the trenches, learned the game, and now he’s leading a next-gen energy company with serious fire. He’s not just a investor or a founder – he’s a builder, a thinker, and someone who’s shaping the future of clean energy. No Cap.
