Ask HN: Exploring the Energy Sector – Looking for Guidance
Hi HN,
I come from a tech background but want to explore the energy industry (especially renewables) with the goal of eventually starting something of my own.
From my initial exposure, I’ve realized there are many opportunities to make life easier for companies in this sector. My usual approach has been to study extensively first and then reach out to people to fill the gaps. However, based on advice from 2 founders I recently met, I’d like to flip this approach: starting with conversations with experienced leaders and professionals to understand the practical realities of the industry.
My request: if you are currently working, have worked, know someone in this field, or simply have deep knowledge of it -- and are willing to share 30-60 minutes of your time -- I’d be truly grateful.
