Commercial Co-founder, Eliminating toxicity from food contact materials

We are launching a new venture dedicated to eliminating toxic chemicals from our food supply and the environment. Our primary mission is to eliminate Bisphenol A (BPA) – a pervasive endocrine disruptor linked to the reproductive health crisis.

Requirements

• Previous experience in either a startup/early-stage company environment or leading commercial scale-up in a relevant industrial setting (or both);
• Experience in adhesives, coatings markets and food packaging is a strong plus;
• A track record in fundraising from VC, grant writing, grant management and building commercial partnerships;
• Exposure to regulatory processes for industrial chemicals/materials (ideally battery-related).

Benefits

• Minimum guaranteed income of £4,166 per month (fixed), paid to each Founder as a consultancy fee until the company is launched and pre-seed investment is secured.
• £250k (~$340k / €290k) investment governed by our Investment Committee to incorporate the new venture and develop early proof-of-concept data.
• Continuous support post spin-out, including fundraising, commercial partnerships, recruitment and team-building (amongst other things).
• Opportunity to own the majority equity stake in the company.
