California entrepreneur launches new energy startup

February 3: As the CEO of multiple startups, Rick Mirza’s business role is best described this way: “serial entrepreneur and value adder.” Rick Mirza uncovers and facilitates equity opportunities for investors and partners. In the process, he often pioneers business models that pair capital with attractive companies at critical growth stages.

Mirza’s most recent enterprise, Topdot Solar, is a residential home solar and energy storage organization based in the East Bay San Francisco.

But to understand Mirza is to recognize that Topdot is the just culmination of two decades of successfully launching his own companies, and helping others build theirs. All his companies share an obsessive focus on solving problems, creating profit, and delighting customers, business owners, and investors.

Daulat Connecting Investors with Innovative Companies at Critical Stages Of Growth

In creating Daulat, Ricks Holding Company, which translates as “wealth” Rick wanted to help investors and equity partners identify under-funded growth vehicles. But he also wanted to support and finance those businesses needing capital to reach their objectives.

“I realized that my background in launching companies, combined with my access to global investors, was in itself a business opportunity. I had been doing this for my own companies for years. But there are many possibilities for investors to support vital, growing companies. And those businesses would benefit from that capital,” Mirza said.

“What both sides needed was a trusted partner who could connect and guide them. When I realized that and turned my own companies into a series of individual entities under a common banner, Daulat took shape.

Daulat now has offices in San Francisco, New York and Dubai, along with satellite locations throughout the world. This allows the company to collect the market-level insights that inform its investment strategies, leading to new opportunities for private investors.

Mirza lives in Oakland California He’s also very involved in charitable activities, serving as Director for HOPE and PakTech.
