Cofounder of a climatech startup - Material/Bio/Chemical/Nano/Mechanical Scientist or EngineerOverviewJoin Carbon13’s eight-month Venture Builder in Berlin to become a cofounder of a scalable climate tech startup. The programme starts in late October and running periods include a mix of in-person days in Berlin and remote participation.What we're looking forWe're seeking scientists, engineers and inventors to become co-founders of startups that fight climate change through joining our Venture Builder. Whether you are developing a startup idea or working with existing IP, you will collaborate to find a cofounder, develop the idea, and launch an investable startup with the potential to mitigate emissions by millions of tonnes.You will join a cohort of over 80 founders from diverse backgrounds, including scientists, experienced founders, leaders from emitting industries, engineers, and sustainability leaders. The aim is to start working now on solutions that reduce carbon emissions at scale. Apart from a few days in Berlin, the programme can be completed remotely.Why Carbon13The climate doesn’t have time for false starts or greenwashing. The programme trains founders with deep carbon knowledge and the latest tools to assess mitigation potential, communicate it clearly, and demonstrate transparent measurement.Quote from Carbon13 Co-Founder and Chief Sustainability Officer Dr. Nicky Dee highlights our approach to training founders rather than outsourcing knowledge.What startups have scientists and engineers built on Carbon13?Materials Nexus - materials discovery through quantum computingSun Bear Biofuture - alternative palm oil through precision fermentationKi Hydrogen - biomass electrolysis for low-energy green hydrogen productionBluemethane - methane capture from waterPortfolio and participationYou can view our portfolio of ventures and learn more about how founders participate in the Venture Builder.Working on a startup idea or IP?Many entrepreneurial scientists and engineers join the Venture Builder because they are working on an idea or have IP they want to develop. This is not a requirement—about half of our technical founders do not have an idea at entry. You will be supported to find an idea or join a cofounder/team who bring IP or insights into an emitting industry. Half of our ventures are software, half are science-based/hardtech.Learn MoreWe run a series of webinars about Carbon13 and building startups with breakthrough climate solutions.
