The hiring of DUAL CYCLE’s first employee marks the transition from a purely founding team to a growing organization. This milestone is especially symbolic for any startup, as it shows that the project is gaining enough traction to expand the team. It also represents an additional commitment to professionalizing internal processes. From this point onward, talent management becomes a strategic axis of the project.

The new team member has been hired to match the project’s immediate needs: technical support, coordination of R&D activities, and development of digital tools linked to the experimental habitat. Bringing in new skills enables us to accelerate tasks that previously fell entirely on the founders. This frees up capacity so each person can focus on the areas where they create the most value. It is an important step toward a more efficient and scalable operation.

Organizationally, hiring the first employee also means progressing in areas such as culture, communication, and work systems. We want to build an environment where innovation, sustainability, and collaboration are everyday values, not just external messages. This includes work practices aligned with the social and environmental responsibility we advocate. The way we grow as a team is an inseparable part of our value proposition.

This milestone is just the start of a broader talent growth plan that will unfold over the coming years as the project advances in technological and commercial maturity. Our goal is to attract people who are motivated by the climate challenge and by the opportunity to work on next‑generation carbon capture solutions. We will continue to share new hires and opportunities through our website and usual channels. heliCO2farm is increasingly becoming a collective project.
