BECCS Innov - Venture Strategy
Led commercial feasibility analysis for a carbon-credit supply chain venture. Tested core assumptions early across policy risk, buyer demand, and unit economics.
Outcomes
- Validated go/no-go assumptions
- Mapped market entry wedges
- De-risked pilot sequencing
Stack
- Market research
- Financial modelling
- User interviews
- Prioritisation frameworks
- Roadmapping
What I Learned
- Learning loops: Iterative user feedback changed roadmap order and prevented low-value overbuild.
- Risk focus: Ruthless prioritization kept the team on assumptions that could kill the venture fastest.
- Decision cadence: Team rituals reduced conflict and accelerated decisions under uncertainty.
- Translation discipline: Non-technical stakeholder input was converted into measurable engineering tasks.
Implementation Notes
- Discovery: interview operators, buyers, and policy stakeholders.
- Synthesis: convert qualitative pain points into ranked opportunity themes.
- Validation: pressure-test margins, procurement friction, and demand constraints.
- Execution: sequence product and ops milestones around highest-risk assumptions.
