We have been working hard on lowering the costs of production of green hydrogen to below the 1$/kg mark. A necessary step to enabling the commercial viability of green hydrogen.

We have developed technology that produces catalytic membranes with very low iridium loadings, limiting the costs derived from using an extremely rare metal.

We have also shown an extremely good stability, leading to electrolyser stacks that require fewer replacement cycles.

VSParticle's CEO will host a webinar on December 4th to answer all questions around the path we are following towards enabling the future of green hydrogen

Hydrogen is a cornerstone element not only as a source of energy for transport, but because it enables the creation of many industrial derivatives.

The economics for green hydrogen are not particularly positive, and companies are pushing new tech to enable cheaper hydrogen creation through water electrolysis.

Is there a path to industrial-scale green hydrogen production or the context is simply not ready for it?

Indeed, I've found some others in similar situations. Definitely a learning experience on which to build.

Well, there's one product, one MVP, and a team of 8 full-timers... My biggest concern was the people, trying to find a situation that somewhat guarantees their short-term future and they can then go from there..

Thanks! I try to stay as positive as possible, and looking forward to the new opportunities that'll appear.

I left the startup I co-founded 4+ years ago. The entire process was an emotional roller-coaster.

My co-founders (and business partners), who are the majority shareholder, made it abundantly clear that the company was 'theirs'. They made decisions behind my back although I am the only founder working full time on the company. I felt alienated, undervalued, and frankly quite miserable for a while.

At some point, when this behavioral pattern started affecting other team members and I realized I had nothing left to do, it was time for me to move on.

I tried to write down how I felt, keeping it politically correct.

Do you think the Pope read Asimov's three laws?

Indeed, there's no remark about it because I wanted to split the act of writing from the publishing of the book. The sentence on asking feedback was geared towards checking the ideas, having an overview of what you've written by someone else (which is not the same than proofreading).

All what you mention as missing, is part of my current ongoing process, and I still haven't learned nor tested enough as to summarize it.

I'm working on that. I just used a stock template for the website.
