Amid a rapidly worsening climate crisis, adopting sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels has become a first priority for the government and businesses. But for the average American, upgrading a home to be fitted with sustainable solutions can be cumbersome and unaffordable. That’s why CEO Hayes Barnard founded GoodLeap, a financial technology platform that connects homeowners with banks and contractors to finance and install clean energy technologies like rooftop solar panels, resilient roofing, and new HVAC systems. Since 2018, the company has helped over 800,000 homeowners save more than $24 billion in utility bills and reduce over 12 million metric tons of carbon dioxide—that’s the equivalent of planting 190 million trees and taking 2.5 million cars off the road.<br />
