In this episode, I sit down with Stenver Jerkku, founder and CEO of Soldera, a pioneering force in renewable energy innovation. Stenver is a seasoned tech entrepreneur whose ventures span renewable energy, AI, and climate finance. With over €20 million in venture capital raised, he’s founded companies such as eAgronom, transforming farming toward carbon neutrality, and Solid World, which created commodities markets for climate finance. Now, with Soldera, Stenver is empowering renewable energy producers by enabling automated guarantees of origin (GO) sales for immense time savings, better deals & market access.
Stenver delves into his journey from working at the unicorn Glia to founding Soldera, where he and his team streamline GOs to create income for smaller energy producers who can feel stumped by market bureaucracy — and how aggregating producers’ GOs maximizes their market leverage instead.
Stenver’s vision is fueled by AI-driven solutions that automate administrative burdens for energy producers, helping them focus on their core mission: contributing to a sustainable energy future.
Enjoy this insightful episode with a true innovator in climate tech!
