Co-Founder in Residence, Local Long Duration Energy Storage
16 hours ago
- Storage Duration: While lithium-ion batteries can help with short-term storage, long-duration energy storage (e.g., days to weeks) that is cost-effective and scalable remains elusive.
- Cost Parity: Achieving price competitiveness between intermittent renewable energy (with storage) and traditional fossil-fired baseload power sources is a major hurdle for high-power industrial consumers.
- Analysing technical constraints facing current mechanical energy storage systems (e.g gravity storage, compressed air) or next-generation geothermal technologies (e.g. drilling, heat extraction, well completion);
- Help with the design, development, and optimisation of candidate solutions that address these constraints.
- Driving customer discovery, engaging with industrial stakeholders to build relations, and ensure solutions meet real-world needs and are scalable;
- Developing the technology roadmap and assessing readiness of various concepts from prototype to demonstration phase;
- Engaging with and converting early-stage investors/VCs, ensuring the company is well-positioned for pre-seed to Series A milestones.
- Previously led or managed commercial delivery of an innovative engineering, industrial, or hardware technology/ies in energy storage or geothermal systems (or similar), with background in mechanical engineering, physics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics or related fields;
- Proven experience in the design and analysis of high-power mechanical systems (e.g. energy storage systems, turbines, heat engines);
- Deep understanding and practical application of thermodynamic cycles and fluid dynamics in high-temperature and high-pressure environments;
- A practical, ideally hands-on, understanding of mechanical energy storage or enhanced geothermal systems;
- A strong understanding of energy markets and the dynamics of energy storage business models;
- A strong existing network and experience working with industrial customers, infrastructure investors or grid operators;
- Proven ability to translate technical innovations from concept through prototype development to demonstration, ideally in startup or fast-growth environments;
- Broad understanding of technical product development and commercialisation;
- Experience in raising funds from early stage investors/VC.
- You have a bias for action and thrive in a fast-paced environment, comfortable making decisions quickly to drive progress;
- You are ambitious and have a strong desire to play an important role in a new, impactful company from the ground up, taking ownership of both challenges and opportunities;
- You are deeply motivated by the mission to mitigate climate change and eager to contribute to breakthrough technologies that will make a real impact on global emissions.
- 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;
- Equity stake in the new venture;
- Co-Founder in Residence joining full-time additionally paid £4,166 per month paid as a consultancy fee until the company is launched and the pre-seed investment is secured;
- Continuous post-spinout support, including fundraising, commercial partnerships, recruitment, and team-building;
