BillionBricks is a climate tech venture that builds net-zero homes to foster homebuyer inclusiveness and to reduce the carbon emission of the built industry.
At the core of the BB's innovations is a net-zero home with integrated solar roofing. The company has built prototypes in India and the Philippines, and is set to launch large-scale net-zero communities (1,000 homes / 10 MW) in both countries. BillionBricks innovates at the intersection of climate and housing, two of the major global issues. To address these major challenges, BillionBricks was joined by Engie, a global leader in energy generation/management.

Pros: The mission is awesome, really. Working on affordable housing projects gave my work meaning. The team is also pretty solid and you pick up a lot on sustainable design. Great learning for a startup.
Cons: Leadership struggles with clear direction sometimes. Project timelines for us Architectural Designers often shifted last minute. This made work really hectic, impacting work-life balance big time.
Advice to Management: Work on clearer communication and project management processes. Listen more to the ground-level team on feasibility for affordable housing projects. It would help a lot with burnout.
