📣 We’re Hiring! Ocean Visions is looking for a talented, energetic, and collaborative individual to help take our marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) work to the next level. The Program Director for mCDR will be a thought and action leader, able to drive maximum impact towards advancing the research, development, and demonstration of all viable mCDR approaches at scales sufficient to answer the critical questions of whether approaches can contribute to climatically relevant carbon removal at acceptable levels of impact to ecosystems and people. To accomplish this goal, the Program Director will need to work with diverse actors across the world to significantly expand the overall investment of time, energy, and money into this emerging sector. Compensation: The salary range for this position is $110,000-$145,000, commensurate with the candidate’s specific skills, years of experience, and background.

Loved getting to join so many smart, ambitious, mission-oriented entrepreneurs, academics, policy-makers, #CDR purchasers and the like at the Yale Center for Natural Carbon Capture's Spring Symposium on #mCDR and #MRV. Propeller had a bunch of portfolio companies on stage -- Aquatic Labs, Banyu Carbon, Calcarea, and Ebb Carbon! Great work organizing by Matthew Eisaman and team.

I'll be in Boston in 2 weeks, looking forward to discussing responsible and transparent Marine CDR from Rewind's perspective, along side Dan Deviri, Jason Grillo, Morgan Reed Raven, Romany Webb, Wil Burns, and other key voices in the industry. Register to learn more: https://ter.li/75b8lc Shoot me a message if you're in Boston and want to meet for coffee, And thanks Aidan Steele and the Hanson Wade Group for putting this together.

Excited to welcome Aikido Technologies to the Propeller portfolio! Floating offshore wind is a MUST for our #cleanenergy future, and Aikido unlocks the industry with a platform design that solves the most critical challenge — how to build these massive structures in a cost-effective, time-constrained and space-efficient manner. The founders -- Sam Kanner, Bingbin Yu, James Reeves -- and team are absolutely stellar, and we’re excited to support them alongside Azolla Ventures, Anthropocene Ventures, Cisco Foundation, Sabancı Climate Ventures, and more. These Breakthrough Energy Fellows know how to build, and are sprinting towards their Aikido One pilot later this year. Check out Katie Fehrenbacher's coverage in Axios and follow their journey at Aikido Technologies. https://lnkd.in/dPFAvPFR #renewables #offshorewind #floatingwind #cleantech #climatetech #startups #VC Matthew Nordan Jane Woodward Jane Zhang Rodrigo J Prudencio Steven Fox Brian Halligan Dr. Julie Pullen Devdutt Yellurkar

A quick #WorldOceanDay post to appreciate all our friends working on solutions for the #ocean. Here at Propeller, we focus on investing in the #entrepreneurs building at the ocean-climate nexus, but there are so many excellent people — scientists, seafarers, fishers, conservationists and more — who make a positive impact on our ocean, and who make this work so special. We’re grateful to collaborate with so many of you, each and every day. We’ll keep doing our part at Propeller, accelerating ocean entrepreneurship. In just two years since we started it, we’ve now put over 50 teams through our #OceanMBA program.

#Biodiversity loss is one of the most pressing issues facing our ocean and our planet. Biodiversity provides benefits for human communities and economies, but we cannot protect what we don’t know- and we can’t do it alone.  New investments in advanced tools and #BlueTech by entrepreneurs, #MarineScience laboratories, and #technology incubators will help fill data gaps and improve decision-making. Join us during #CHOW2024 for the “Living Laboratories: Ocean Economy Conservation and Acceleration” plenary , hosted by Oceankind, will discuss how break-through #leadership will allow the technological advancements we need to succeed, and how we can include local communities in these new #science and technology solutions. The panel will be moderated by Dr. Jane Lubchenco (White House Office of Science and Technology Policy). The panel features Dr. Ellen Stofan (Smithsonian Institution), Julie Pullen, Ph.D. (Propeller Ventures), Michael J. Weise (Office of Naval Research, US Navy); Paul Bunje (Conservation X Labs), and Phillip Levin (National Nature Assessment), with closing remarks from Jillian Stanton (eeBlue Young Changemakers Fellow).  Mark your calendars for Thursday, June 6th from 3-4:00 PM EST and register to join the conversation during Capitol Hill Ocean Week.
