Remora
Remora is an industrial technology company based in Detroit that develops and deploys carbon capture systems for trains and trucks. Their core business model involves retrofitting vehicles with their proprietary zero-backpressure carbon capture technology, which extracts and purifies up to 90% of CO2 from exhaust while also reducing soot, particulate matter, and NOx. Remora then sells this purified CO2 and shares the revenue with the railroads and trucking companies. They have developed breakthrough adsorbents that function effectively in humid exhaust, unlike traditional corrosive and volatile solvents. The company emphasizes rapid iteration driven by proprietary simulation tools, machine learning, and validation. Remora has secured significant funding, including $117 million, from prominent investors like Lowercarbon Capital, Valor Equity Partners, Union Square Ventures, First Round Capital, and Y Combinator. Their technology is modular and has potential applications in other sectors such as ships, data center generators, cement kilns, and power plants.

Mission First:
We are laser-focused on our mission. We have chosen to take on the defining challenge of our time, and we don’t shy away from the hard decisions required to put our mission first, no matter how tough. The world needs our technology and it won’t happen any time soon if we don’t make it happen. We are a low-ego team, and we prioritize the mission over our self-interest. We think strategically with an eye to the long term, and we clearly separate what must be done well now, and what can be improved later, despite ambiguity.
Burning Urgency:
Our hard-core intensity and work ethic match the crisis we’re in. We have a strong bias toward action, and we execute with focus and speed. In the absence of guidance, we take charge, lead our teammates, and accomplish our goals. We aren’t afraid to change course when something isn’t working, and we find solutions even when it seems like there are none. We are cool under pressure, and our quiet determination and drive are unwavering. We relentlessly push ourselves and each other to improve. We don’t accept adequate performance. Excellence is the expectation. Many would say our standards are unreasonably high, and many would say our goals are unreasonably bold, but we are hungry to be exceptional. We will never give up, no matter what. If we get knocked down, we get back up, every time. We will not fail.
Uncompromising Honesty:
We are always honest with ourselves, our teammates, our customers, our investors, our suppliers, our communities, and all of our partners, especially about what’s not going well and what we don’t know. When we see issues, risks, or challenges, we speak up, and when we make mistakes, we admit them proactively and take full accountability. We challenge others directly when we disagree, even when it’s uncomfortable, and we seek this uncompromising honesty from others.
Treat People Exceptionally Well:
We care intensely about everyone who is on this mission with us, and our standard is exceptional respect for our teammates, partners, and communities. Teammates who bring different perspectives and backgrounds are essential to our success, and we empower everyone to share their voice. We listen to truly understand. We constantly encourage and help our teammates, and inspire each other with our enthusiasm and optimism.
Joyful Curiosity:
We love to learn, and we learn quickly. We explore the unknown with wonder and excitement. We reason from first principles. We generate original ideas with an open mind and test them quickly in the real world. We take risks and adapt as we discover more. We explore many ideas in parallel, and we don’t count on a silver bullet solution. We share our ideas freely with our teammates. We are skeptical about conventional wisdom, and we question every assumption and requirement. We are always looking for ways to simplify. We are rigorous and attentive to detail. We are eager to understand all aspects of our business and technology, and we contribute effectively outside our individual specialties. We never stop learning.
