After 14 years working in the corporate world, Orlin turned to the world of startups.  Orlin worked on the management team of a solar startup bringing order to chaos and energy of the exceptional team.  He learned firsthand how ambitious goals can both put "wind in the sails" and "crush you into the rocks".  Seeing the product succeed technically and then be crushed as investors lost their desire to move forward, important lessons were learned about the need for transparency in the realities of product development.
