An engineer focused on operational excellence, Martin ran operations at Pulp (a French food-tech startup), founded KYVC (a platform connecting founders to investors), and built the nature tech investment strategy at BGV, an international venture capital firm.

His time in VC made one thing clear: he wanted to build. He set out to apply his skillset to the massive problem of biodiversity loss.

After a Master's in electrical engineering focused on robotics and AI at Case Western Reserve University, Luc spent five years writing robot-control software, managing engineering infrastructure, and leading teams across companies like Fetch Robotics (acquired by Zebra), Postmates (acquired by Uber), Burro, and Autodesk.

Driven by the real-world impact of his work, he set out to apply his robotics skills to the climate crisis and joined Antler to build a company.
