About OPERATORS Collective
OPERATORS Collective is a board, advisory, and investment collective of executives, entrepreneurs and experts in maritime, ocean, energy, supply chain and critical infrastructure. We bring operators, board members, and investors together to work directly with founders on commercial strategy, product validation, capital planning, and go-to-market execution.

Board education: at least one completed and documented recognized board education program




Entrepreneur or intrapreneur: founded a startup or built a new business area from zero in a larger company
Expert technical knowledge: 7+ years of frontier or in-depth experience in a technical field (e.g. robotics, IoT, coatings, AI)
Expert functional knowledge: 10+ years in a functional area (e.g. B2B sales, marketing, regulation, strategy, operations, procurement)

What you get
The opportunity to be matched to a board or advisory seat with an industrial-tech company scaling in maritime, ocean, energy, supply chain or critical infrastructure.
Compensation and equity terms set per role.
