Daniel Cavero

Daniel Cavero is the Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer at Noya, a climate technology startup based in San Francisco, California. Alongside co-founder Josh Santos, he directs the technical development of scalable direct air capture systems designed specifically for commercial carbon dioxide removal. Under his hardware engineering leadership, the enterprise transitioned from retrofitting industrial cooling towers to constructing dedicated, standalone carbon capture facilities. The company successfully graduated from the Y Combinator Winter 2021 batch and subsequently attracted backing from prominent institutional investors like Lowercarbon Capital. Cavero has helped secure over $20 million in total venture funding, including an $11 million Series A round in May 2023 led by Union Square Ventures and Collaborative Fund. His current focus centers on advancing hardware engineering solutions and deploying scalable infrastructure to accelerate the global transition toward a net-zero future.
