Join Us as a Commercial Founder in Residence
We're on the lookout for enterprising and altruistic individuals with an interest in founding and building a global-scale, impact-driven company from the ground up.
We are seeking applications from a diverse range of candidates from anywhere in the world to work with us on addressing the challenge of enabling secure and scalable geological CO2 storage. Prior experience in an early stage startup is not a prerequisite and we welcome applications from candidates with experience in the corporate, research, government and not-for-profit sectors.
You’ll work closely with the supportive DSV team and the current Founder in Residence for this area to co-found and spin-out a new company. Once the new venture is incorporated with pre-seed investment from DSV, you and your co-founders will own the majority stake in the business and continue receiving support from the DSV team post-spinout.
The role is full-time, initially remote (can work from anywhere) with possible relocation once the new venture is incorporated.
The Opportunity
There is an urgent need to remove and store billions of tons (Gt) of CO2 from our atmosphere. With over 100 direct air carbon capture (DACC) companies entering the market over recent years, there has been a strong focus on CO2 capture technology. Yet, in order to reach climate goals, we need to simultaneously build the post-capture CO2 storage supply chain.
We must act now and deploy technologies which can deliver secure, low-cost, CO2 storage at gigatonne-scale.
Our Approach
Our business model is to provide permanent and verifiable storage for the >500 Gt of CO2 captured from negative emissions pathways and industrial emissions.
We’ve worked backwards from the requirement of a geological CO2 storage approach that is inherently secure and scalable. We store CO2 in a secure phase, and can deploy in any geological reservoir, regardless of rock type and mineral composition.
Who Should Apply
We are looking for a co-founder with leadership skills, who is motivated to tackle the climate crisis.
Most suitable candidates will likely meet several of the following (we don't expect you to meet all):
- Experience in building and scaling organisations; including growing and managing teams.
- Experience in fundraising, corporate governance and board reporting.
- Strong relationships with relevant government, regulatory and research institutions in one or more markets.
- Strong appreciation of health and safety, social impact and environmental concerns.
- Excellent communication and negotiation skills.
- Experience in business-oriented roles in the carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS), oil and gas, mining or groundwater industries.
- Broad knowledge of the energy transition and climate-tech sectors, specifically commercial and regulatory constraints.
- Creative and positive personality, who is able to contribute new ideas to shape the company.
Our Offer
By joining DSV, you will be part of a team of operators who have founded companies and led the translation of science at some of the most respected universities, charities, funds, and government agencies. Here’s what we offer:
- Access to optimised, purpose-built, proprietary tools, resources, and processes to help create high-impact ventures from scratch;
- Opportunity area-specific know-how from our network of Partners and Advisors;
- Up to £250k in investment to incorporate the new venture and develop early proof-of-concept data;
- Guaranteed income of £4,166 per month paid as a consultancy fee until the company is launched and the pre-seed investment is secured;
- Majority equity stake in the new company for you and your co-founders;
- Continuous post-spinout support, including fundraising, commercial partnerships, recruitment, and team-building;
- Collaborative support from dozens of Founders currently at DSV across sectors.
