Almost 90% of experimental data is discarded, losing over $100B in R&D value every year. the company turns unused experimental data into the materials and manufacturing processes powering the next industrial revolution.

Our ambition is to own or license the world’s experimental data and use it to build better models for science.

The RoleYour first job is to build our university data network, starting with individual labs and scaling to departments and institution-wide partnerships. From there, you’ll expand into industry R&D and other major sources of proprietary experimental data.

You will:

• Build and close partnerships with universities and research labs
• Navigate complex relationships across faculty, research leadership, tech transfer, legal, and administrators
• Structure data access, licensing, and partnership agreements
• Translate partner needs into product requirements
• Work closely with product and engineering to build tools researchers actually want to use
• Create scalable partnership models that can grow from one lab to an entire institution
• Expand the network over time into industry R&D and other proprietary data sources

We’re looking for someone who can operate like a founder: build relationships from scratch, manage ambiguity, move quickly, and turn partner insight directly into product and strategy.

Your mandate: build the network that gives the company access to the world’s most valuable experimental data.
