Too bad venture capitalists (rich people) don’t understand that complicated endeavors like battery startups aren’t possible in America because the supply chain does not exist. It works in China because you can find 10 factories within a 30km radius making the exact part you need. Until then, these entrepreneurs know that there will be unlimited free money that they can siphon from rich folks into their own salary and job that they created.

Neither are car startups. right?
Let me introduce you to JB Straubel, Co-founder of small American car manufacturer.
They make their own batteries too, so complex…I know.

One of the big points to pick up that was alluded to but not directly spoken about is that many batteries that Redwood receives are not ready to be recycled. They still have life in the batteries, hence why JB created this second revenue stream.
