In Office C-level APAC Logistics Manufacturing AgriTech Founder CEO Thai B2B Close

Requirements

• Founder or senior operator who has run a physical rural aggregation supply chain in Thailand at real volume: rice, sugar cane, cassava, palm, maize or biomass. • Relationships with farmers, cooperatives, baling contractors, mills or agri-processors, and the respect of people in the field, not just the boardroom. • B2B commercial instinct: you can sell industrial offtake, soil amendment into fertiliser distribution, or biomass into industry, and close long-term contracts. • Comfort with data and digital tools: you can reason about satellite data, dispatch apps and MRV even if you are not writing the code yourself. Exposure to carbon credits, biochar or climate tech is a strong plus. • Fluent Thai and strong English. You can run a meeting in a village in Isan in the morning and pitch a global carbon buyer in the afternoon. • Credibility with a national corporate like PTT and with forward-looking venture investors; ready to stand in front of the PTT board in December. • Comfortable operating in ambiguity: making irreversible calls with incomplete data, through mud, weather and harvest deadlines. • You might be a founder who has already built in agritech or climate, a supply chain leader from a sugar, rice or energy group ready to build your own company, or a returning Thai operator who wants to solve a problem you grew up with. • Most importantly, you want to be the person who ends field burning in Thailand, and builds a regional company doing it. • This is your company. We're here to help. • HOW THE PROCESS WORKS • We are moving fast. The selected founder pitches Amber to the PTT board and Founders Factory decision makers in early December 2026. • 1. Intro call (from now): 30 minutes with Founders Factory's talent team about you, the concept and fit. • 2. Concept deep dive (October–early November): Sessions with the studio team on the deck, the validation work and your view of the first district. • 3. Working session (November): A short, scoped case: your 90-day plan for Phase 1, tested with the team and PTT stakeholders. • 4. Pitch preparation (late November): We build the board pitch with you, together. • 5. Final pitch (early December): You present to the PTT board and Founders Factory decision makers.

Benefits

• We don't just fund ideas — we co-build them. Join as Founder & CEO and get access to a full-stack venture studio offering designed to give you the best possible start: • Capital and backing: Tranche 1: €110k yours to spend, plus a fulltime venture builder, and a hands on squad around you. Tranche 2: €175k of spin-out capital plus a 6 month accelerator programme, with PTT as strategic backer from day one. • PTT's rails: Access to logistics, rural networks, capital for modular kilns, and the credibility to sign long-term offtake with global carbon buyers • Expert Team: Hands-on support across product, growth, fundraising, AI/ML, design, legal, hiring and more • MVP Build: Full-time venture builder(s) to help ship the first product: supply register, dispatch and the field app • Accelerator: 6 months of deep operational support post-launch • Strategic Network: Intros to top-tier investors, carbon buyers and registries, and Founders Factory's global corporate partners • Validation: A vetted concept with buyer, farmer, baler and offtaker interviews already done, so you start at month six, not month zero • As Founder & CEO, you will be responsible for turning a strong thesis into Southeast Asia's leading carbon removal supply chain. • Pick the first district. Decide which province, crop and harvest window you attack first, using satellite residue maps and burn-scar history, and secure contracted feedstock before anyone buys a machine. • Win the farmer, the baler and the mill. Build trust on the ground with farmers, baling contractors, village heads and mills. Make clearing a field with Amber easier and better paid than burning it. • Move real tonnes. Run Phase 1 as a broker: buy residue, route it through contracted balers and trucks, deliver it to biochar producers, and learn the true cost per tonne by distance. • Turn tonnes into credits. Partner with producers on digital MRV, issue the first credits through Puro.earth http://Puro.earth, Isometric or T-VER, and sign forward offtake with global carbon buyers. • Unlock PTT's rails. Work with PTT and PTT OR teams to put logistics, capital and rural networks to work for the venture, and present progress to the PTT board. • Build the company. Hire the founding team, raise capital, and establish Amber as the trusted name in Thai carbon removal, then take the model to rice, cane, cassava and maize across the region.
