Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer - FIDgate (renewable-energy deeptech · pre-seed · Berlin/Germany)



Renewable-energy developers make multi-million-euro investment decisions on the first project design that works - not the best one. FIDgate's engine co-optimises the design, dispatch and financing of utility-scale solar, wind and battery projects in a single pass, and surfaces the €8–15M of additional value on a 200MW project that today's tools leave on the table.

The engine is real and validated , proven on live client projects, €50M+ in additional value identified across 600+ MW, paid engagements and signed LOIs. We're now turning that proven technology into a SaaS platform, launching our first pilots, and raising our first external round.

I'm the founder - technical and product. I'm looking for the commercial other half: a co-founder who owns the path from pilot to recurring revenue, and helps me build a company ( not just a sales pipeline).

You'll own the commercial future of FIDgate: enterprise sales into developers, IPPs and utilities; the pilot-to-subscription conversion engine; strategic partnerships; customer success; and - with me - the fundraise, the investor relationships, and the commercial organisation we build together.

You're not a quota-carrying salesperson waiting for leads, and not a COO who wants to run process. You've sold complex, high-value software to serious enterprise buyers, ideally in energy or an adjacent technical field. You can learn a genuinely deep AI/deeptech product and make a sceptical, technically literate buyer believe it. You've built commercial motion from near-zero, you're at home in the ambiguity of pre-revenue, and you think like a founder - because you want to be one.

On offer: a real co-founder seat and meaningful equity; a validated deeptech product in a €2.2B European market growing double digits; and the chance to build the commercial engine of a company at the exact moment it goes from "it works" to "it scales."
