Lead and co-found a climate tech venture studio focused on developing novel ironmaking technology to reduce emissions in steel production.
Responsibilities
- We’re developing a novel ironmaking technology that produces low-emission iron at cost parity with today’s highly emitting incumbents — without green hydrogen or CCS.
- Our process:
- Is cost-competitive with incumbents, with no green premium
- Leverages existing energy and raw material supply chains
- Slashes emissions by up to 80% compared to conventional ironmaking
- Generates a saleable co-product that can further improve margins
- We are currently working on an experimental proof-of-concept and will be starting engineering for our pilot project later this year.
- We’re seeking an entrepreneurial CEO & Co-Founder with experience in large industrial processes to lead commercialization, fundraising, and scale-up. You’ll own the commercial roadmap, capital strategy, partner and customer engagement, and overall company direction.
- You’ll partner with the CTO & Co-Founder , a former Lead Technology Development Engineer at Carbon Engineering (DAC) and mechanical engineer from MIT with early-stage startup experience.
Requirements
- You’re motivated to build an industrial hard tech company from the ground up. You understand heavy industry, but think like an entrepreneur.
Conditions
- As CEO & Co-Founder, you will partner with the existing founder who has been developing the technology as a Marble Founder-in-Residence.
- Founding equity stake
- Full-stack support from Marble's existing investors and network
- Mentorship and guidance at every step of the way
- Access to an unparalleled network across science, industry, talent, investors, mentors, and other climate deep tech founders
- Seed fundraising support: Introductions to the best seed investors and help with term sheet negotiation
- Relocation support to target geographies: Vancouver / Squamish, BC, Canada
- We believe that a diverse group of minds is key to solving the climate crisis. We encourage women and people of colour to apply. Studies have shown that under-represented candidates are less likely to apply for an opportunity unless they feel they meet every single qualification. We are committed to building a diverse, inclusive and mission-driven cohort. If you’re excited about the programme but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with what you read on our website, we encourage you to apply anyways!
Other
- Marble is a climate tech venture studio. We partner with scientists, engineers, and operators to create companies solving hard climate problems in the world's largest industries.
- Our first 13 companies are building transformative products across energy, industry, agriculture, and climate resilience. 100% have been successful in raising follow-on to date. We are looking to partner with exceptional individuals to create our next venture.
- Steel is responsible for 8 - 10% of global emissions with roughly 2.6 Gt of direct CO₂ emissions annually. The demand for steel is expected to rise as much as 30% by 2050, but incumbent pathways each face barriers that make decarbonization extremely difficult. Emergent “green” production technologies produce steel at large cost premiums and face scale-up challenges.
- Today , no existing ironmaking technology simultaneously: (1) achieves deep emissions cuts; (2) scales economically to multi-megaton plants; (3) leverages existing energy and material supply chains; and (4) is cost-competitive without subsidies.
- Commercial experience in a relevant sector (e.g., metals, mining, cement, lime, minerals, oil & gas, or related industrial processes), such as business development, strategic partnerships, or project development
- A track record of securing customers and building partnerships with major industrial players
- Experience raising capital from venture, strategic, and non-dilutive sources
- An entrepreneurial streak evidenced by founding, operating, or scaling an early-stage venture
- You’re encouraged to apply even if your background isn’t a perfect match. Above all, we value intelligence, creativity, and drive.
