He then did a stint at Sutter Hill Ventures where he understood the VC lens when identifying entrepreneurs that have the potential for success. The key ingredients and how the lens is used to identify patterns includes the following:3) Founding teams equipped to resolve complex technical problems
Gene was traveling the world meeting many founders. During his time with Sutter Hill Ventures, Gene met his future co-founder, Gleb Yushin. Shortly after, Gene’s former Tesla colleague Alex Jacobs joined them as Sila Nano’s third co-founder.
After multiple conversations and understanding the value that each one of them brought to the table, they got started with a 1,000 sq. ft. lab in a basement at Georgia Tech and Sila Nanotechnologies was born. Right after forming the team they went out to raise financing. They had a big advantage and that was the intellectual property Gleb had amassed which included six patents and four years of technical data around the problem they wanted to resolve.
They knew the technology was fully compatible and had a clear understanding of the road ahead given the years of experience at Tesla from Gene and his co-founder Alex.They went out and raised a Series A round with Sutter Hill and Matrix as co-leads. Both of whom have continued investing in every round. Sila’s most recent round of financing was a $170 million round led by Daimler. So far they’ve raised around $295 million.
The business positioning was critical as a lot of people had lost money in battery companies. From day one they were very clear they were not a battery company, but a technology company that makes materials for batteries. Batteries are a low margin market but the materials have a very healthy market as the better the product the higher the sales.They are valued now at over $1 billion where storytelling played a big role. This is being able to capture the essence of the business in 15 to 20 slides. For a winning deck, take a look at the pitch deck template created by Silicon Valley legend, Peter Thiel (see it here) that I recently covered. Thiel was the first angel investor in Facebook with a $500K check that turned into more than $1 billion in cash.
During the early days, the cofounders were able to recruit a group of talented engineers to join them and from there started to build the business.Their business model revolves around inventing, developing, manufacturing and selling their product. In this regard, their product is a powder that replaces graphite powder in existing lithium-ion batteries. The more efficiently you can store lithium, the less material you need for the same amount of energy. Sila Nano’s material can store energy more densely, giving you more energy at similar volume and weight.
Sila can reduce battery weight by approximately 20 percent or increase energy stores by approximately 20 percent with it’s material. Meaning vehicles have the potential to go 20% further than anyone else’s.Consider that every electric vehicle will need around 15 to 20 kilos of this material. Think forward to a few years from now when all vehicles are electric. You’re talking about a market of 100 million new vehicles per year. At 20 kilos per car, you're talking about 2 billion kilos of this entirely new-to-the-world material that has to be produced, every year.
This material could also be used to fuel new air taxis, and change the way we travel, and the aerospace industry.Sila has been growing by around 40-50% every year for the past five years, and there are no indications of that slowing down anytime soon.
While it isn't the most powerful workstation money can buy, the Samsung Chromebook 3 is a small, extremely lightweight, and responsive laptop with decent battery life. If you're just using it to check email, browse the web, take notes, and write up essays, it'll get the job done. 16GB is a pretty small hard drive, but Chromebooks (as their name suggests) are meant to be used with Google's suite of file storage and management features like Google Drive, which includes Google Docs, Photos, and more. But if your work demands more storage, it's nothing a good external solid state drive can't fix.
Also make sure you're aware that this is refurbished, meaning it isn't a brand new laptop. But with 34% savings (that's $68 bucks), and at only $131.94, you could always tack on a two-year protection plan for $39.99 and still be saving yourself some cash. Laptops like this aren't built to be entirely futureproof anyway, but if you have the money to spend and are searching for something sturdier, check out our picks for the best laptops for college or the best budget gaming laptops.
Currently, Amazon has the Google Pixel Slate w/ Core i5 (128GB) on sale for $749. This laptop/tablet hybrid costs $999 direct from Google, so that's $250 off. It's the lowest price we've seen for this configuration and one of the best 2-in-1 deals of the year. (Best Buy offers the same price). Even better, Amazon is taking $250 off all configurations of the Pixel Slate.
The Google Pixel Slate features a 12.3-inch 3000 x 2000 touch LCD, 1.3GHz Core i5-8200Y dual-core CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 128GB SSD. It can be paired with an optional keyboard and stylus pen (sold separately) to maximize your productivity.

In our Google Pixel Slate review (we reviewed the Core i5 model), we liked its sharp, vibrant screen, great audio and long battery life.
The Pixel Slate sports an anodized aluminum chassis and Midnight Blue finish. Not only is it strong and durable, it looks great in any classroom or a boardroom. At 1.6 pounds and 0.3 inches thick, the Pixel Slate is lighter than the Microsoft Surface Pro 6 (1.7 pounds, 0.3 inches) and the Samsung Galaxy Book 2 (1.8 pounds, 0.3 inches). Compared to the 12.9-inch iPad Pro (2018) (1.4 pounds, 0.2 inches), it's also heavier and chunkier.

We watched a remastered version of the 1977 film Suspiria. The Google Pixel Slate's 12.3-inch screen offers such great color and detail that we noticed excellent reproduction of the shining gold that adorns the dance academy's facade. We also saw a ton of crisp details in the Slate's 3000 x 2000-pixel panel.
Performance-wise, the Pixel Slate's hardware configuration offers ample speed for everyday tasks. We experienced no lag while playing a 1080p YouTube video with 12 Chrome tabs open, while Twitter, 1Password, and Discord apps ran in the background.
