Bryan Hassin is a serial energy entrepreneur with multiple successful exits. His latest challenge? Creating high-performance materials for a low-carbon world as the CEO of DexMat.

The global energy transition is not just about deploying renewables and electrifying everything—it’s also about rethinking the fundamental materials we use to build everything around us. Traditional materials like copper, steel, and aluminum come with significant carbon footprints, supply chain vulnerabilities, and physical limitations that impact scalability. Innovations in advanced materials can unlock higher efficiencies, lower costs, and more sustainable pathways for clean energy technologies.

DexMat is at the forefront of this revolution, pioneering Galvorn, a carbon-based material that can replace metals while offering superior conductivity, strength, and flexibility—all with a negative carbon footprint. In a world racing to decarbonize and electrify, materials like these could be game-changers for industries ranging from EVs to grid infrastructure.

Bryan brings decades of experience leading and scaling energy technology startups. Prior to DexMat, he co-founded Third Derivative, one of the largest climate-tech accelerators, where he assembled an ecosystem of corporate partners and investors, facilitating $2.5B+ in funding for 200+ climatetech startups.
