Founder Friday: July 21st, 2023

Bringing Decentralized Finance (DeFi) to renewable energy projects requires a lot of moving parts.  We decided we wanted to share more of the behind the scenes of what is happening at Plural via this weekly newsletter where I (Adam Silver, co-founder and CEO of Plural Energy) share some updates and weekend reading for those interested in the space.

Asset Partners

Asset partners are the renewable energy companies that we work with to tokenize equity of their projects and complete a public security token offering.  These are the companies whose projects you will be investing in!

This week we had amazing progress on the asset partner front.  While I can't go into too many specifics, we came to agreement with three different renewable energy companies to tokenize assets and launch on-chain.  Combined, these three companies will contribute hundreds of millions of dollars to Plural's tokenization pipeline.
