Mike Silvestrini is the Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Energea, a renewable energy investment platform he launched in 2020 after selling his previous company, Greenskies Renewable Energy LLC, where he served as Co-Founder and CEO. His investment thesis centers on enabling retail investors to access international solar projects with buy-ins as low as $100, bridging the gap between private-sector investors seeking ~14% IRR returns and emerging-market developers needing capital. Energea targets solar projects across the United States, Brazil, and Africa, managing over $128 million in assets across nearly 200 projects in six countries as of recent reports. The platform typically offers diversified portfolios rather than individual lead investments, with ordinary investors purchasing shares of Delaware companies that acquire specific solar assets. While specific check sizes for individual deals are not publicly detailed, the platform aggregates thousands of small investor contributions, with active investors numbering around 12,000 and average returns exceeding 12% IRR since inception. Notable portfolio projects include off-grid installations in Colombi
