A critical aspect of commercializing technology is finding the right team members to bring technologies to market. However, small start-ups may lack the brand recognition and skillsets to attract and effectively integrate senior in-demand talent. The EIR program helps to identify, evaluate, and match business/executive talent in C-level roles with early stage climate tech companies while also providing assistance in integrating new team members.

The matched executives start out actively engaged and performing work in a trial project that runs 3-4 months at no cost to the client company. During the trial, both the company and the executive will receive integration coaching which includes training on communicating with new team members, negotiating compensation, and legally hiring employees.
