Cory Vanderpool spent 12 years helping homeowners go solar, saving them money and energy. But when those same people tried selling their homes?
Their solar investment's value vanished in the eyes of real estate agents. Equity lost. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings dismissed.

That was his breaking point.

“If no one else is going to solve this,” he thought, “I will.”
So he built SPRK—a solar valuation platform that gives homeowners the tools to defend what they’ve built.

It wasn’t easy. Turning a powerful idea into a real product meant learning how to sell the vision, fight for clarity, and say no—a lot.
Cory had made his mistakes, ventured into the wrong industries, and tried serving too many people at once. But when he focused on one user, one niche, everything changed.

How did he do it?
He niched down. Charged for value. Bundled tools that professionals could resell. Built a team that believed in the mission. And worked like a founder possessed.

Why did Cory win?
Because he didn’t build for hype—he built for justice. Because when no one valued solar equity, he created a standard of proof.
