Using my superpowers for good
My why

Using my superpowers for good

15 years ago I didn't know what a recruiter did.

10 years ago I started a recruiting agency to support founders who were still building their recruiting muscle.

5 years ago I realized that it isn't just about me. (see pic above)

Today I am thrilled to have the opportunity to use my superpowers for a cause that I am passionate about - developing and deploying technology that powers sustainable energy and empowers sustainable civilization.

2020 was hard for a lot of reasons. It is no fun being stuck inside running air purifiers while fires destroy our countryside. These fires and now freezes have gotten progressively worse in just the last 5 years. What will our children inherit if this continues?

What am I going to do about it?

I'm neither a scientist nor an engineer. My superpower that I have developed the last 15 years is assembling teams of amazing people to execute on daunting engineering feats. Never have the stakes been quite this high - to prevent the Earth from melting.

We will need some of the biggest brains with even bigger hearts to contribute to transitioning humans to a sustainable energy source.

Fortunately, the sun is at our backs ;-)

  • Bill Gross is the founder of Idealab, our founder at Heliogen, and for the first time in 25 years will scale Heliogen himself as the CEO
  • We have demonstrated from first principles that our science & technology works
  • We have 2 clients who have signed contracts and we will break ground on building their sustainable power plants this year
  • We have a cause worth fighting for

If you also want to use your superpowers for good, come over to the light side - Careers @ Heliogen. The power is yours.
