Building Tomorrow’s Energy Giants, One Leader at a Time

What We Do

To keep 1.5°C within reach, the world needs 30 million people working in clean energy by 2030.

According to the IEA, reaching global net zero targets will require a workforce shift of historic scale — and we’re not on track.

We’re already seeing the signs. Forty-degree summers in the UK. Floods where there used to be fields. Oceans losing their balance. The climate crisis isn’t abstract anymore. It’s here. And clean tech is one of the few tools we have left that can meaningfully change the outcome.

But the tools alone won’t get us there. We need people to build them, run them, and scale them with purpose.

That’s where I come in.

I help climate and clean energy startups hire the talent they need to grow — fast, founder-aligned, and mission-led.

I’ve built teams from the inside. I know how every hire affects pace, culture, and momentum. Whether it’s a Head of Product, a founding engineer, or your first commercial hire, the right person changes everything.

No noise. No filters.

Just talent that moves the dial.

Our Mission

Louisa Maglieri, founder of Startup Resources, specialist in executive recruitment for clean energy and climate tech startups

At Startup Resources, we help climate and clean energy founders build with clarity, pace and purpose.

We are the people connectors for startups. We don’t just fill roles. We help build the teams that will shape the future. That means hiring people who align with your mission, reflect your culture, and bring something extra to the table. The ones who build with you, not just work for you.

As a neurodiverse founder, I’m passionate about creating a more inclusive and diverse hiring culture — one where great talent is recognised for what they can bring, not just where they’ve come from. I care deeply about integrity, delivery and cultural alignment. I act as your voice in the hiring process, making sure candidates understand who you are and what you stand for.

This is a partnership, not a transaction. It’s built on trust, care and making every hire count.

Because the right people don’t just grow your company. They grow your impact.
