🤝🧑 Who You'll Work With
Philipp (Co-Founder & CEO) - Hi, I’m Phil! 👋 Raised on a small strawberry farm in Bavaria, Germany, I'm passionate about sports, hiking, and exploring meditation and biohacking. Before founding Arch, I earned an MBA and Master’s in Environmental Science from Stanford, led global solar projects with 180+ employees, and was a management consultant at McKinsey, helping software companies scale. Ask me about my favorite cafes and brunch spots in SF!
Sacha (Co-Founder & CTO) - Hi, I'm Sacha! Originally from Belgium, I discovered my passion for climate tech after experiencing devastating fire seasons in Australia and California. With a dual M.Sc. in Engineering and Management, I thrive at the intersection of engineering, design, and strategy. My entrepreneurial journey includes both early failures (a Tinder-like app ahead of its time) and successes (a YC-backed company with 40+ employees). Previously, I built AI tools enabling first responders to rapidly identify fire ignition zones, directly influencing my path to founding Arch.
Interviews start the week of March 31st.
