Co-Founder / Business Developer

TesseLumio is looking for a Co-Founder / Business Developer to join our founding team in Gothenburg. Would you like to be a part of changing how we store data? TesseLumio is aiming to be a part of making DNA based data storage commercially available and we are looking for the right team to start the journey. Global data generation has crossed 200 zettabytes, driven by AI workflows and automated infrastructure.

Spun out of deep-tech research at Chalmers University of Technology and backed by Chalmers Ventures, TesseLumio is building an end-to-end platform that writes, stores, and reads digital information directly in DNA. Our methodology aims to facilitate the scaling up and integration of molecular data storage within standard IT infrastructures. The Role: You will join as part of the founding team to lead commercialization, market discovery, and early business development alongside the inventors from Chalmers. Key Responsibilities:

• Identify early enterprise use cases and validation partners for molecular data storage.
• Secure pilot agreements, letters of intent (LOIs), and strategic commercial partnerships.
• Lead go-to-market strategy and translate lab milestones into clear commercial roadmaps.
• Work with the team on venture capital fundraising, investor materials, and grant applications.

Candidate Profile

• Background: Experience in early-stage business development, B2B technology sales, or startup venture building.
• Domain exposure: Exposure to IT infrastructure, enterprise data systems, or biotechnology is appreciated.
• Technical background: A degree in biology or biotechnology is appreciated but not required.
• Location: Based in or willing to relocate to Gothenburg, Sweden to collaborate on-site with the team at Chalmers.
