About Yard Stick PBC

Yard Stick is a remotefirst seedstage company with founders based in Boston Oakland and Chicago. We are on a mission to reverse climate change with agriculture. Scientists and farmers alike know that climatefriendly agricultural practices have the potential to remove atmospheric CO2 at gigaton/year scale. When these practices are adopted more carbon is stored in soils improving soil health and fighting climate change. But significant measurement challenges have held soil carbon efforts back until now.

By reducing the cost of soil carbon measurement by 90 Yard Stick will dramatically expand the opportunities for evidencebased regenerative practices to simultaneously improve ecosystem health increase farmer income and combat climate change.

Current soil carbon measurement technologies are slow expensive and cumbersome relying on conventional soil cores and labs to quantify carbon stocks. In contrast Yard Stick is fast and cheap without sacrificing accuracy. Alongside our scientific collaborators we were awarded a $3.6M grant from the DOE ARPAE Smartfarm program in Fall 2020. For more background check out some recent coverage in TechCrunch or Treehugger.

Weve also raised money from top climate VCs including Breakthrough Energy Ventures (Bill Gates climate fund) Lowercarbon Capital (Chris and Crystal Saccas climate fund) MCJ Collective and others. This financing isnt announced because that can feel a bit cart before the horse but were happy to share more detail about our fundraising when we chat.

We offer competitive salary equity for permanent roles health insurance a 401k and homeoffice reimbursements. In terms of flexible schedules we have a number of founders and other team members with young families and have a strong track record of creative flexible approaches to hours and communication expectations which let folks feel great about their commitments both to Yard Stick and their family.

Our Commitment to Equitable Hiring Culture

Yard Sticks impact goals go well beyond climate science (although our #1 value is Climate Impact). Why Our company operates primarily in the US agricultural sector which is predicated on centuries of mass land theft and disenfranchisement of Native and Black people. This harm continues today. If were going to work in this sector we need to actively work to make it better.

Consistent with our core value of Pursue Justice we speak up about these issues and we support emerging solutions and relevant policy efforts such as H.R.40 and S.300. We also publicly highlight the risk of further racial discrimination in emerging agricultural legislation like the Growing Climate Solutions Act.

Regarding hiring and culture we work to create a work environment where everyone feels confident sharing their ideas problemsolving happens openly and collaboratively and mistakemaking is welcomed. We also standardize our interview process and questions to reduce likeability bias benchmark salaries against industry databases to reduce negotiation and utilize tools like the Gender Decode. Climate change is arguably the most complex challenge ever faced by humanity we need all of humanity activated to fight back and that motivates us to build a diverse team.
