REPORTS TO: VP Product DevelopmentCOMPENSATION: Salary is competitive with other early-stage startups, including benefits,
bonus plan, and equity stock options.
COMPANY OVERVIEW:
BioLite is a funded startup that develops; manufactures and markets distributed energy solutions for offgrid communities around the world. Our first products are clean-burning, wood fueled cooking stoves
capable of converting their own waste heat in to electricity to charge electronic devices. Our business
serves two distinct markets, 1) developing world families living in energy poverty, and 2) outdoor
enthusiasts seeking fuel-independent cooking and charging.
Developing World:
Half the planet still cooks on indoor open wood fires and the toxic smoke they emit kills nearly 2 million
people every year, twice as many as malaria. Previous efforts to address indoor smoke with clean
cookstoves have failed to achieve the smoke reductions necessary to protect health and have also failed
to catalyze consumer demand due to minimal functionality beyond that of a traditional open fire.
Our HomeStove is capable of reducing indoor smoke by more than 90% while cutting fuel use in half. By
providing our largely off-grid customers with the ability to charge cell phones and LED lights, our stoves
create economic incentive for purchase and continued use, ensuring sustainable delivery of our health
and environmental benefits.
Outdoor:
Our CampStove? offers outdoor recreators a much needed, green alternative to petroleum cooking
combining the speed and reliability of an advanced stove with the appeal of a traditional campfire. Using
our revolutionary product, outdoor enthusiasts can cook meals using nothing but the underbrush and
twigs they collect on their journey, eliminating the need to carry fuel and generating electrical power to
charge cell phones, lights and other devices.
