Jeremy Smith

Co-Founder and CSO

Jeremy Smith is an accomplished entrepreneur.

A veteran in the renewable energy sector.

With a degree in accounting and a passion for innovation, before he even cofounded Solo, he had already managed a 500MM portfolio and sold his first startup to the world’s largest renewable energy developer at the time after already attracting seven term sheets in less than two years from launch.

The entrepreneurial spirit didn’t stop there.

The serial thrill seeker co-founded another solar venture and then spun off a software company we all know as Solo.

Jeremy is a revolutionary in solar and his impact on the industry immeasurable.

He has played a critical role in architecting proprietary processes and pioneering resources that have enabled the solar industry to scale to new heights.

His commitment to making the world a better place have earned him widespread recognition, including awards from Ernst and Young, Inc 5000, Fortune, and more.

What truly sets Jeremy apart is his love for people and his love for family.

Jeremy would tell you that if he can do it, you can too. But that would mean you would have to live both fearlessly and faithfully. And that’s not for the faint of heart!

He lives for the face-paced, dynamic and competitive challenges in business. If he wasn’t in solar software, he’d be on wallstreet.

David’s insatiable work ethic has been an indispensable force in building Solo’s sales team and implementing streamlined processes for onboarding and most importantly, customer success.

His contributions have helped solidify Solo as an industry leader.
It’s easy to assume David’s calloused fingertips are the marks of a tireless keyboard workhorse. But oh, how appearances can deceive! Those are the scars from rocking, riffing and shredding on six strings. Yep, he loves the guitar… that’s his kind of “solo”.

Landon Anderton

VP of Software Engineering

Landon Anderton brings technical visions to life through engineering creativity and software solutions.

They say that a mother knows best, and for Landon, it couldn’t have been any truer as his very own mom taught the first coding class he ever attended.

Years later with a scholarship to do anything engineering related, when two roads diverged in college orientation between computer science and computer engineering, Landon chose the one less traveled. (ie: the shorter, harder line).

And that has made all the difference.

After graduating from the University of Utah in computer engineering, Landon proved himself in aerospace and defense with L-3 Communications before venturing into the startup scene with Scan, which was later acquired by Snapchat.

Following his time at Snapchat, he cultivated a passion for clean energy and the potential of technology to improve the world.

This ultimately led him to Solo, where he found an opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology and contribute to a growing company.

Today Landon continues to be a pathfinder, choosing paths and visions to bring to life that change the world for good.
