Battery Startup Due Diligence: A Case Study on Group14

In this Battery Talk video Jeff and Aubert take a close look at Group14, a silicon anode material company making headlines in the energy storage industry. They give an overview of the company and then rate them on a number of categories including: how they are Surviving the Valley of Death, how well they are Engineering into the Box, the Pain Points they will go through, how they Match their Technology to Market, and a very qualitative do Jeff and Aubert like them. Unlike other previous company reviews in their "Who's Doing it Right" series, this is a deeper dive and Jeff and Aubert also go into detail about what they look for, why those things are important, how they draw some of their conclusions, and where to find some of these public documents.
