WHO WE SERVE

Industrial startups

We serve the pioneers building tomorrow’s sustainable economy

You’re a Series A+ industrial startup company with $0.5 to $50M in funding, 1-50 employees, and a technology that’s ready to move from lab bench to pilot scale. You have brilliant scientists and passionate engineers, but you’re missing the experienced engineer who has commissioned dozens of pilot plants and knows how to get things done quickly.

Your challenges

Can’t justify hiring a senior process engineer full-time
Can’t afford the high cost and long lead time of a full-service engineering firm
Need support that scales up and down with project phases
Your junior engineers lack an experienced mentor
Require someone who understands both startup urgency and process engineering realities
Want a partner who’s been through the funding, scaling, and demonstration journey

How we can help

Fractional Engineer engagement for consistent access to senior expertise
Flexible scope that adapts to your funding cycles and project needs
Truth-telling technical guidance that helps you make informed decisions
Supportive and personal mentorship for your junior technical staff

Fractional Engineer retainer for consistent day-to-day guidance of your junior engineering staff
