Built Back Bold — Craig's book on rebuilding after loss. Available now.

Get in touch

I started in solar with a phone and a prayer.

No playbook. No safety net. Just the belief that if I outworked everyone and actually helped people, something real would get built.

Twenty years of doing the work

I'm Craig Stratton. Eagle Scout. Father of three. Author of Built Back Bold. CEO of Prosper Shield.

I've been in solar for 20 years — long before it was a trend, long before the VC money showed up. I built teams from scratch, learned every part of the process, and earned every lesson the hard way.

Then life hit hard. I lost four family members in ten months. I had to rebuild everything — personally and professionally. That experience isn't a footnote in my bio. It's the reason Prosper exists. I built this company so nobody has to navigate a major life rebuild alone.

What we've built together

Prosper isn't a startup with a pitch deck. It's a proven platform, 20 years in the making, backed by $13M and a track record that speaks for itself.

  • 24,978+ solar installs completed
  • 42 states in our network
  • $13M backed and capitalized
  • Solar, Security, HVAC, Roofing, and EV — one company

We set out to simplify life for homeowners and to build a real business opportunity for the people who represent us. Both goals drive every decision we make.

Eagle Scout values. CEO execution.

Eagle Scouts learn early that you do what you say you're going to do. You show up prepared. You serve something bigger than yourself. Those aren't just values from a kid's handbook — they're the operating principles behind every system, hire, and decision at Prosper.

My three kids are watching. My team is watching. The homeowners who trust us with their biggest investment are watching. That accountability isn't a burden. It's what makes this work matter.

I wrote Built Back Bold because I needed to make sense of what I went through — and because I knew other people were going through it too. If you're rebuilding something right now, that book is for you.
