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'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. 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. Apply Here or see the Programme Structure.

We believe that a diverse group of minds is key to solving the climate crisis. We strongly encourage women and people of color to apply. Studies have shown that underrepresented 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 program but your past experience doesn't align perfectly with what you read on our website, we encourage you to apply anyways.
