SunFunder is creating a solar finance ecosystem for accelerating energy and information access in off-grid and grid deficit markets. We connect investors to high-impact solar projects that improve the lives of low-income communities in Africa, Asia and Latin America. We raise and aggregate capital to finance solar projects from non-accredited investors and from accredited and institutional investors. Our focus is on providing short-term, working capital and project finance loans for solar lighting, phone charging, micro-grids and commercial diesel-replacement projects.

One of the criticisms we’ve all heard about the Agile methodology is that it encourages mediocrity. It clouds our long-term vision with small-scale “quick wins” and forces us to focus on gradual improvements on an unambitious existing product. This talk aims to dispel this myth by distinguishing the difference between vision and process. The truth is that Agile does not stifle creativity, it does not prevent us from looking further into the future. I’ll give real-world examples of ways teams can continue to foster their long-term ambitions whilst maintaining a process which focusses on the here-and-now.
ANOVA is a small shop of optimization experts who work with you to find the perfect balance between price and quality instead of simply dumping leads on our buyers. This slideshare illustrates how ANOVA is different.
What is trust and what does it mean? I'll explore the concept of trust, why it's so important, boundaries and context, how we can earn it and what it means for business. I'll illustrate how we might leverage trust to design products and services that encourage an equitable society.

Minnesota's Value of Solar: Can a Northern State’s New Solar Policy Defuse Di...John Farrell
In March 2014, Minnesota became the first state to adopt a “value of solar” policy. It may fundamentally change the financial relationship between electric utilities and their energy-producing customers. It may also serve as a precedent for setting a transparent, market-based price for solar energy. This presentation explains the origins of value of solar, the compromises made to get the policy adopted in Minnesota, and the potential impact on utilities and solar energy producers.

Sameer is the Co-Founder and Chief Design Officer of SunFunder. He will talk about how design and information plays a key role in the functioning of their business. He will talk about the information challenges of formalizing this unstructured ecosystem that spans different geographies, populations, solar technologies, business models, politics, regulations and price points. He will also talk about the challenges of extracting reliable information and working in the absence of information due to the low technology, high human capital nature of many of these businesses. Also learn about the new taxonomies they use to help normalize risk assessments across the portfolio and adapting to the dynamic needs and opportunities of the sector. He will also talk about how a simplified vocabulary, simplified design of the technology systems helps SunFunder scale it’s own operations.
And finally he will also talk about story telling, including the qualitative impact of these investments, along with the measurable social and environmental impact that investors care about. When everything comes together, investors are happy that their money was used to bring about measurable, positive change in the world, while earning them a financial return; and at the same time thousands of people around the world end up with reliable access to electricity and lighting and become a part of the emerging solar energy revolution and all the cascading benefits it brings.
