Alon Mashkovich

Alon Mashkovich is the CEO and Co-Founder of enSights, a data platform that aggregates operational and financial information across solar development projects to help managers reduce costs and improve the viability of renewable energy assets. By pulling together data from multiple sources into a single view, enSights gives project teams the visibility they need to make better decisions and move away from the fragmented, spreadsheet-heavy workflows that still define much of the energy industry.

In his appearance on The Grove, the Earth Onward podcast focused on clean energy and climate innovation, Alon walked through the early stages of building enSights from the ground up. Drawing on his background in consulting, he discussed the process of identifying a real problem in the market, validating the idea with early customers, and using those first relationships to sharpen the product. He also shared what the hiring process looked like at the earliest stage and how the company iterated its way from an initial concept to a growing platform. For founders and operators working in clean energy or adjacent sectors, his account of going from zero to one offers a grounded and practical look at what that journey actually involves.
