Cuberg

Cuberg is a U.S.-based energy startup founded in 2015 by Dr. Richard Wang and Dr. Mauro Pasta, emerging from Stanford University. The company focuses on developing advanced battery technology, specifically using a liquid electrolyte combined with a lithium metal anode to enhance battery performance and safety. Cuberg specializes in creating high-performance lithium metal cells that improve energy density, shelf life, and stability at elevated temperatures. These batteries are particularly suitable for applications in electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. The company has established partnerships with innovative mobility firms, including Boeing, Beta Technologies, Ampaire, and VoltAero. In March 2021, Cuberg was acquired by Northvolt, which aims to accelerate the commercialization of its lithium metal technology. The company is headquartered in Emeryville, California, and has raised significant funding from various investors, including Boeing HorizonX Ventures and the U.S. Department of Energy.
