Co-Founder & CFO Opportunity: Build the Financial Future of Reforestation ? (Equity-Focused)


Are you an entrepreneurial finance leader ready to build something from the ground up?

At MiON Forest, we are an early-stage climate-tech startup with a massive vision: revolutionizing reforestation using biodegradable pots, soil microbiome activation, and AI-driven drones.


We are looking for a CFO (Co-Founder capacity) to join our leadership team. This is not a typical 9-to-5 corporate role, it is an opportunity to own a significant stake in a company that is preparing for rapid growth in 2026.


? The Reality & The Opportunity We believe in radical transparency. We are currently in the early stages. This position is primarily equity-based to start, with a modest salary/stipend expected to kick in as we secure our incoming grants and investment rounds in 2026.


We are looking for a partner who is willing to bet on themselves and us. You aren't just an employee; you are a co-architect of our financial future.


? The Timeline (Probationary Trial)

  • Start Date: January 2026.
  • Format: We will begin with a 1-month probationary trial. This allows us both to assess our working chemistry and ensuring we are aligned on mission and strategy before making a long-term commitment.


? What You Will Do

  • Secure the Runway: Lead our immediate efforts to finalize pending government grants and secure seed investment for 2026.
  • Strategic Structure: Build the financial models and internal controls from scratch to prepare us for scale.
  • Investor Relations: Act as the primary financial voice to our current and future stakeholders.


✨ Who You Are

  • Entrepreneurial: You understand startup life. You are comfortable with risk and motivated by long-term reward (equity).
  • Experienced: You have a background in finance/accounting (CPA preferred) and have ideally navigated the early stages of a startup or venture-backed company.
  • Mission-Driven: You are passionate about restoring the planet’s forests and want your work to leave a legacy.


? The Deal

  • Compensation: Significant Co-Founder Level Equity.
  • Salary: Minimal to start, with a roadmap to increase as we close our 2026 funding rounds (Investment/Grants).
  • Location: Hybrid/Hamilton, Ontario (The Forge / McMaster Innovation Park).


? How to Apply If you have the grit to build a climate-tech unicorn and the financial expertise to keep us grounded, we want to hear from you.


Please send your CV and a brief note on why you are ready for a co-founder journey SK@mionscience.com


Deadline: 31 December 2025
