Richard Ng is the co-founder and CTO of greenworkx, a climate EdTech startup tackling the green skills shortage. The company has built a talent portal for green jobs — combining bite-sized training, qualification pathways and algorithmic role-matching — and is targeting 10 million people into green jobs over the next decade to support net-zero infrastructure delivery.

Ng read PPE at Oxford and started his career as a maths teacher with Teach First. He moved into edtech as the second hire on the software engineering coach team at Multiverse, the UK's first edtech unicorn, and then ran the education function at LocalGlobe-backed Academy, where he built the technical training programme that placed engineers at companies like Beamery and Two.

greenworkx raised a £600,000 pre-seed round in April 2023 led by Mangrove Capital Partners with Ada Ventures, alongside angel investors including the CEOs of Multiverse, MyTutor and Octopus Electric Vehicles. Ng is also an Ada Ventures Angel, backing early-stage companies in climate, economic empowerment and healthcare.
