London, Greater London, United Kingdom Deep Science Ventures Full time
Climate Entrepreneurship Opportunity

We are seeking expressions of interest from experienced industry, startup, and/or new science or engineering-based technology development professionals to work with us on tackling plastic waste through venture creation.

Our mission is to create a future in which both humans and the planet can thrive. We use our unique venture creation process to create, spin-out, and invest in science companies, combining available scientific knowledge and founder-type scientists into high-impact ventures.

The production of virgin plastics has reached an estimated 8300 Mt, and as of 2015, around 6300 Mt of plastic waste had been generated. Of this waste, only 9% has been recycled, 12% incinerated, and a staggering 79% has accumulated in landfills or the natural environment.

Requirements
  • PhD or equivalent industry R&D know-how focused on materials science, chemical engineering, environmental science, or related fields;
  • In-depth knowledge of state-of-the-art technologies and constraints in plastic recycling, waste management, biodegradable materials, or emissions reduction;
  • Broad knowledge in environmental impact assessment, sustainable materials, and circular economy principles;
  • Industry-specific know-how, commercial knowledge (e.g., strategic partnerships, manufacturing, procurement, etc.), and network within waste management, recycling industries, or environmental organizations;
  • Experience in building and scaling new technologies from concept to demonstration;
  • Experience in raising funds from early-stage investors/VC;
  • Experience in building and scaling a high-growth enterprise (leadership/c-suite roles).
Benefits
  • Access to optimized, 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.
