About Marble
Marble is a climate tech venture studio. Our north star is to erase billions of tons from annual greenhouse gas emissions and create a thriving future.
We partner with scientists, engineers and operators to create new deep tech companies that solve hard climate problems — slash emissions, remove carbon from the atmosphere, and cool the planet — while reshaping multi-billion $ industries.
We're proud to be backed by leading climate investors across Europe and the US.
Solve Hard Climate Problems
Opportunity areas we’re currently pursuing include (but are not limited to):
- the critical minerals industry
- (subsurface-based) carbon-free energy generation
- methane abatement from different sources
- agriculture adaptation and rethinking our food systems
If you are a mission-driven individual with deep expertise in these areas, or any adjacent field, we would love to hear from you.
That said, these themes are just a few we're currently working on. If you have other ideas where your background gives you an unfair advantage, please do not hesitate to get in touch!

How To Apply
We are currently taking applications for the late March 2024 cohort:
We believe that a diverse group of minds is key to solving the climate crisis. We strongly encourage women and people of colour to apply.
Studies have shown that under-represented candidates are less likely to apply for a role unless they feel they meet every single qualification.
We are committed to building a diverse, inclusive and mission-driven cohort. If you’re excited about the programme but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with what you read on our website, we encourage you to apply anyways!
