Become a Domain Expert or Startup Expert and mentor high potential Net Zero startups
We are seeking to add to our corps of Domain Experts to assist us in the establishment and scaling of our ambitious and ground-breaking ventures. Domain Experts and Startup Experts are highly valued members of the Carbon13 community, who bring their significant business and technical knowledge to bear on the success of our cohorts of ventures.
Carbon13 entrepreneurs will collectively build scalable ventures with the potential to reduce carbon emissions by over 400 million tonnes or 1% of global emissions.

Overview
Each venture in our cohort aims to build a scalable, commercial enterprise with the potential to remove at least 10m tonnes CO2e per annum from the emissions base. Carbon13 Domain Experts and Startup Experts help founders to identify, understand and address the challenges they face in meeting these ambitious goals.
We’re looking for Net Zero and technology experts in all areas connected to greenhouse gas emissions: across energy, buildings, agriculture, transportation and manufacturing. See full list below.
We’re also keen to find people with broad strategic and operational experience in a wide variety of Start-Up business functions (marketing, sales, finance, legal, people, operations, design/engineering…) to join us as a Start-Up expert. You will help nurture our founders as they create their business and guide the creative and disruptive process that this early stage involves.
If you feel you have a piece of the puzzle, you can make a real impact on climate change by feeding it into the startups we are building. Please read through our Domain Expert FAQ for more information.

Key Information
Low carbon and high growth
You’ll be working with ventures generated by the Venture Builder programme. Each venture is focused on building a high growth startup with the potential to reduce carbon emissions by 10 million tonnes.
Time commitment
Startup Experts engage with our founders earlier and more regularly. Domain Experts may be called on to support a specific venture with a specific problem, which may only require an hour phone call, or longer as needed. In both cases you control how much you can commit to.
Schedule
We will call on Domain or Startup Experts according to the needs we see emerging from each cohort. This means we don’t guarantee all Domain or Startup Experts will be needed for each cohort.
