Phil Doolan is a Partner at The Footprint Firm who brings an unusual combination of chemical engineering training and hands-on experience as co-founder of Nordic Salt Cycle/SemperCycle, a circular chemistry company, before transitioning to venture investing. He focuses specifically on chemicals and minerals investments and serves as the firm's internal expert on life-cycle assessment, applying technical systems analysis to evaluate portfolio companies rather than relying primarily on market-driven investment approaches.
