Our take

Insight M provides large-scale, aerial monitoring of methane emissions to oil and gas operators. It uses methane detection algorithms and proprietary sensor hardware to identify material methane leaks before providing insights to its clients.

The company has had an impressive impact on the oil and gas industry’s emissions management strategies, having enabled its clients to eliminate over 14B cubic feet of methane emissions, which is akin to removing over 1.5M vehicles from the road.

Insight M has become the market leader, a position only consolidated after recently closing another funding round. This is being invested into expanding their commercial teams and international operations, as well as developing new instruments and software that will increase sensitivity and improve the quality of the company’s data for customers.

Benefits

  • We do not track vacation time, nor do we have set hours to be in the office. Instead, we encourage taking real vacations, mental health days, leaving early to pick up the kids, working from home, time-shifting commutes, staying home when you're sick, ducking out to the gym - we believe work time should be flexible
  • We provide health, dental, and vision insurance, including subsidized coverage for dependents. Our 401K plan provides a 50% employer match on employee contributions up to 8%
  • We think death-march hours are a bad way to run a company. We expect something approximating a 40-hour workweek, but mostly we just care that your work gets done. No, really. (Full disclosure: we occasionally put in some extra hours during crunch periods, but that is the exception, not the norm)
