CARLOS NAVARRO

Carlos Navarro is a Ph.D. chemist in organic chemistry from the University of Southern California who was bit by the entrepreneurial bug and has not looked back since. He co-founded, led, and capitalized his sustainability start-up recycling carbon fiber, raising $657K in non-dilutive grants and prizes. The NSF I-Corps and Activate Fellowship Program equipped him with the entrepreneurial toolkit necessary to identify problems and pain points to secure customers, allowing him to execute on research contracts with multi-billion-dollar industries in aerospace. Effective technoeconomic modeling and customer discovery validated his business model, allowing him to envision a grand future underneath a solid financial base. The power of effective oral & written technical communication and storytelling to diverse audiences were foundational to his success. Carlos is ready to help you fine-tune and optimize your messaging.
