    Oct 22 2025

    We’re absolutely thrilled about our latest episode of the Take Charge podcast featuring Rick (Eric) Luebbe, CEO and Co-Founder of Group14 Technologies.


    Our new host, Blaze Gardner, had the incredible opportunity to dive into Rick's journey, from the birth of Group14—born out of a bold belief in silicon's potential for batteries—to how the company is transforming energy storage today.


    What excites us most is how Rick and his team cracked the historic challenge of silicon expansion, creating a ground-breaking battery material that is faster-charging, longer-lasting, and more energy-dense than traditional options. We also explore their global scaling strategy, including their recent acquisition of a factory in South Korea, and their ambitious plans to meet the world's energy needs sustainably.


    This episode is packed with insights about the future of silicon batteries, the incredible opportunities ahead, and what truly motivates Erik and his team to push the boundaries of clean energy. Whether you're an investor, innovator, or just passionate about the future of energy tech, you won’t want to miss this conversation.


    Join us as we uncover how Group14 is leading the charge toward an electrified, sustainable future.
