Mark Swanson is the CEO of Aeromine Technologies, a Houston-based renewable energy startup building a patented, motionless rooftop wind system designed to sit on the edge of commercial buildings and generate power without spinning blades. A mechanical engineer by training (Stanford, then Michigan) and a 30-year operations leader who spent 12 years scaling rooftop solar at SunPower, Borrego Solar and Complete Solaria, Swanson took the helm in January 2025 to drag a tricky, long-stalled idea - viable distributed wind - from pilot rooftops into full-scale manufacturing. He inherited six units in the field, a pipeline of roughly 14,000 inbound inquiries, and a thesis that the future rooftop is solar plus wind plus storage.

Matt Campbell is the CEO and Co-Founder of Terabase Energy, a Berkeley-based company building the digital and automation platform for utility-scale solar. After 15 years at SunPower working across 200+ projects in 20 countries, he launched Terabase from his basement during the pandemic in 2019 - and within three months had secured an 800 MW project in Qatar. Today, backed by SoftBank Vision Fund 2 and Breakthrough Energy Ventures with $207M raised, Terabase's Terafab robotic assembly line is deploying solar at 2-minute cycle times, targeting 24/7 autonomous construction and a future where solar hits one cent per kilowatt-hour.
