The GFRP New Company Launch Model
The Generation Food Rural Partners Fund ("GFRP" or the "Fund"), a part of Big Idea Ventures, collaborates with universities across the U.S. to identify high potential university-held Intellectual Property and launch startup companies. Our primary focus is breakthrough technologies in agriculture, food, and protein. GFRP is the founder of these startups, providing funding, relationships with a network of service providers, and existing relationships with strategic partners, to offer candidates a unique opportunity to become a CEO and hit the ground running.
The Company
Stealth NewCo (the "Company") will bring to market a platform of bio-based encapsulation technologies designed to positively impact crop and animal performance utilizing biodegradable encapsulation methods for the biostimulant, biocontrol, seed, agrochemical, and animal feed and supplement industries. With rising interest and industry adoption, these products have the potential to reduce microplastic presence in soil and water sources on livestock, row, and specialty crop operations, offering a more sustainable and mutually beneficial solution for farmers and ranchers seeking to incorporate soil and gut microbiome benefits on their organic or conventional operations.
The Role
As CEO and the first employee, you will develop and bring to market a set of novel bioencapsulation technologies aimed at solving the challenges faced by the animal, seed, and crop input markets, specifically to enhance crop and animal performance through controlled release methods, and to reduce the presence of plastic contaminants in surrounding soil and water sources. This is an opportunity to build a business from the ground up around promising technology. You will collaborate closely with the GFRP team to utilize resources and networks of the Fund to accelerate time to market.
What You'll Do:

- Build relationships with GFRP's limited partners and corporate partners in the form of JDAs, when relevant
- Build and execute effective marketing and sales strategies to promote the company's products and services
- Drive product innovation and development by working closely with customers, partners, and other stakeholders to identify and prioritize new features and functionality, and ensuring that the company's products remain competitive and relevant in a rapidly evolving market

- Build a strong company culture based on shared values and a commitment to excellence, including fostering a collaborative and inclusive working environment and promoting diversity and inclusion at all levels of the organization
- Manage the operational budget and ensure financial sustainability by monitoring and optimizing burn rate and cash flow, and implementing effective cost management strategies
- Raise capital and build strong relationships with investors and partners, and other stakeholders, including representing the company at industry events and conferences and maintaining a strong public profile
