CTO and co-founder of Diamond Foundry
Jeremy Scholz is CTO and co-founder at US-based unicorn Diamond Foundry, the first certified carbon-neutral lab-produced diamond manufacturer. He has worked there since 2012, leading up to the company’s official establishment. Prior to this, Scholz co-founded startup consultancy Alicanto in 2011 and briefly worked at startup YottaQ as director of engineering. From 2006–2011, Scholz worked as an engineer and manager at the $640m solar power startup Nanosolar. Silicon Valley's first solar power technology startup financed by American venture capital, the firm was the highest-valued firm in the industry at the time.
