We are a seed climate-tech startup in the food/ag space. Our goal is to be the engine behind reducing nearly 15% of all greenhouse-gas emissions, creating an emissions reduction platform for the beef and dairy industries. 

Lasso’s software platform makes on-farm emissions reduction projects easier than ever to scale and finance.

Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with co-founders on ongoing initiatives
    • (if interested) Participate in sales and marketing calls for additional learnings / exposure to different functions
  • Perform desk research across public sources, academic journals, data sets, and news articles
  • Lead calls and meetings with industry experts, farmers and existing customers
  • If intern has software engineering skills:
    • Contribute to and connect with existing product prototype construction 
    • Work hand-in-hand with technical lead for any connection to workstream
    • Participate in some existing data analytics, software programming or UI/UX work

Who should apply

  • Passionate about tackling emissions in the agriculture sector, specifically methane emissions in the dairy and beef industries
  • Comfortable with ambiguity and end-to-end project ownership - co-founders give you a lot of autonomy to solve problems in the way you think is best and will not micromanage you
  • Proactive and eager to contribute to a fast-moving startup

Required expertise

  • Preference for sophomore or junior candidates with at least 1 summer internship experience

Preferred skills/Majors

  • Product design
