Investment thesis

GoodFinch invests in renewable energy infrastructure, combining capital with deep operational expertise. The team has founded and led notable companies in renewable energy and solar markets, including Vivint Solar, SolarCity, GoodLeap, and SunStrong Management. The firm emphasizes an operator's mentality in investment decisions and co-owns SunStrong Management, an independent renewable energy asset management and servicing platform that coordinates thousands of technician site visits monthly to maintain distributed energy assets. Rather than providing capital alone, GoodFinch positions itself as an experienced builder and scaler of the companies that operate energy infrastructure.
