Founder in Residence, Towards Zero Toxicity

6 months ago


London, United Kingdom Deep Science Ventures Full time

This is an open application for expressions of interest. Hiring for the role will begin later this year.

Join Us as a Founder in Residence in Climate

At DSV, we are always on the lookout for entrepreneurial individuals with technical and commercial domain expertise with a keen interest in founding, and building a global scale, impact-driven, high-growth company from the ground up (full-time).

We are seeking expressions of interest from experienced industry, startup, and/or new science or engineering-based technology development professionals from anywhere in the world to work with us on addressing the global toxicity challenge.

The Opportunity Area (OA): Towards Zero Toxicity

The intersection of human health and toxic chemical exposure has become a critical area of concern. Toxic chemicals, prevalent in consumer products, industrial waste, and agricultural practices, pose significant risks to respiratory wellness, reproductive health, endocrine systems, neurodevelopment, and more. These substances, including PFAS, bisphenol A, organochlorines, flame retardants, phthalates, and various pesticides, have been linked to a range of health issues such as cancer, neurodevelopmental disorders, metabolic dysfunctions, and respiratory diseases.

Our Approach

We’re currently building an outcomes graph, working backwards from the desired high-level outcomes:

  • Detecting a broader range of toxic chemicals at lower concentrations;
  • Creating safer chemical substitutes, promoting transparency of research findings, and implementing market mechanisms to incentivize reduced emissions;
  • Innovating and disseminating effective technologies for environmental remediation, such as bioremediation, phytoremediation, chemical remediation, physical remediation, advanced oxidation processes, and nanoremediation;
  • Developing therapies that prevent, treat, or cure disease in toxin-exposed individuals.

Requirements

Who Should Apply

Most suitable candidates will likely meet multiple of the following criteria:

  • PhD or equivalent industry R&D know-how focused on environmental science, chemistry, chemical engineering, biochemistry, pharmacology, or a related field;
  • In-depth knowledge of state-of-the-art (SOTA) technologies and constraints in at least one of the following areas: toxicology, environmental monitoring, and/or remediation technologies;
  • Industry-specific know-how, commercial knowledge (e.g., strategic partnerships, manufacturing, procurement, etc.), and network within environmental health, chemical manufacturing or related industries;
  • 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

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 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.

Note that we’re not yet actively hiring for a Founder in Residence position(s) for this opportunity. However, we are actively seeking expressions of interest from candidates who are highly selective about their next move. If you’re determined to explore venture creation opportunities in this area, share your application and we’ll get in touch when it’s launched. We may reach out to you sooner if your experience highly aligns with the expertise we’re after.
