Today we are announcing our $1B Series C, but money isn’t the story. The story is what we’ll do with it, and the scale of the challenge ahead.
Our mission isn’t constrained by capital, supply, or demand. It’s constrained by talent. To build America’s next great power company, we need the engineers, operators, and creatives ready to take on the challenge to join us.
Power is the most important product in the world. It runs through everything: our homes, hospitals, schools, factories, and future. And the grid that delivers it is breaking.
At Base, we’re building the future of power so human progress can accelerate. In the past two years, we’ve grown from an idea into one of the fastest growing energy companies in America.
Now we’re entering a new phase of growth. Our first manufacturing site is rising in the heart of Austin, inside the former Austin American-Statesman printing press. Here we’ll build our own hardware to meet surging demand and scale nationwide. This is a key step in putting a battery on every home in the country.
Few teams get to say their work powers human progress. We do. With a billion dollars of fuel, our next wave of growth will be defined not by capital, but by people who choose to step up, take ownership, and build the next great American power company.
The old system is breaking. Come build the new one.
Our Series C was led by Addition, with participation from both new and existing investors including Trust Ventures, Valor Equity Partners, Thrive Capital, Lightspeed, Andreessen Horowitz, Altimeter, StepStone, Elad Gil, 137 Ventures, Terrain, Waybury, Ribbit, CapitalG, Spark, BOND, Lowercarbon, Avenir, Glade Brook, Positive Sum, and 1789.

Partirà domani da #Shanghai un secondo team di medici cinesi esperti in #COVID19 con 9 tonnellate di materiali sanitari (ventilatori polmonari, monitor e altre attrezzature) donati dalla #Cina. Il team atterrerà a Milano e darà supporto ai medici locali. #ForzaCinaeItalia
Non possiamo abbassare la guardia. Combattiamo la sfida più importante degli ultimi decenni, la più grave dal dopoguerra e per vincerla serve il contributo responsabile di 60 milioni di italiani. Qui la mia intervista a @Corriere ➡️ https://t.co/O8qSx1ALPY
Uniti ce la faremo 🇮🇹
Al San Raffaele sono già partiti i lavori per convertire il campo sportivo dell’Università in un nuovo reparto di terapia intensiva. Dovrebbe essere operativo in sole 2 settimane. Grazie agli operai che lavorano giorno e notte per rendere tutto questo possibile ❤️🙏🏻🇮🇹
Quasi 10.000 chilometri da #Shanghai a #Roma, ma c'è grande entusiasmo. Ora poche ore di riposo e il team di medici cinesi sarà pronto per dare il suo contributo alla lotta dell'Italia contro il #COVID19.
La #Cina invia aiuti all’Italia contro il #coronavirus. “Siamo con voi, Forza Italia”, è la scritta che compare in ogni imballaggio. È l’unico paese al fianco del Bel Paese. Inviate 2 mln di mascherine, 20mila tute protettive, oltre 50mila tamponi e 1.000 ventilatori polmonari.
