Sungevity

Last night on the ABC I watched some dodgy docco on renewable energy.

Basically it was an advertisement for action on climate change masking as new information. You’d have to be pretty gullible to suck this shit up.

Anyway, the highlight for me was a segment on the Australian Founder of Sungevity, a Californian company that provides very un-sexy engineering services to solar installers in the US.

Working very hard to look like any other Californian start-up gone all unicorn, their offices are multi-coloured, they have an in-house crappy music band, an incubator run by the usual chick using her tits to get ahead, and the mad founder still hanging around in an advisory role and annoying the fuck out of everybody.

Well, they put on a ‘party’ for the ABC cameras and I swear the mad founder actually said ‘we’re here to be the most successful solar company and TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE’.

Clearly they have never watched ‘Silicon Valley’ and/or completely lack a sense or irony and/or completely lack a bullshit detector and/or are complete fuckwits (which covers all the others really).

It made my night. LOL

ps the incubator with tits is on the left and the founder is second from the right. The other two have jobs, were employed early on, and are pets of the founder since they were nice to him (by necessity) when he was their boss; he hardly knows anyone in the company now. The woman on the far right was sent to keep any eye on the founder in case he got too pissed.
