We engineer next-gen battery materials to power our electric future—from innovative mobile devices to EVs and beyond. @BessemerVP @Daimler @MatrixPartners @SHV

[Sila @SilaNanotech]

The #batteries that power #AI, defense, #robotics, and space are the same batteries that will power the next generation of EVs — and the world needs a lot more of them, made in America.

Our $300M raise will support the expansion of our Titan Silicon production capacity at our Moses Lake facility.

We've raised $300M to fund the expansion of our silicon anode manufacturing capacity in Moses Lake, Washington.

Thank you to our lead investors @Atreidesmgmt and @shv, and to continued support from our existing investors @8vc , @BessemerVP, @matrixvc, @TRowePrice, and others.

Titan Silicon drives performance across defense, AI, robotics, data centers, and space — industries that cannot exist without advanced batteries. @geekwire covers the announcement: https://t.co/Hi192k6OBd

Graphite, gallium, and germanium anchor our modern military power -- feeding chips, AI infrastructure, satellites, and the sensors defense depends on. Who controls these materials, controls tech supply chains. It's a national security imperative.

@RealPNavarro outlines three steps the U.S. should take: 1) back breakthrough tech, 2) pair innovators with industrial scale, and 3) move at the "speed of relevance." That's the bet we made a decade ago with batteries -- AI, defense, space, and autonomous systems all run on them. Titan Silicon is the invention that makes it possible, proven at gigascale in Moses Lake, WA -- the first facility of its kind in the West.

CATL alone makes 40% of the world's EV #batteries.

Graphite has defined battery manufacturing for 34 years — Sila invented the replacement. Titan Silicon, our silicon anode, delivers higher energy density and faster charging, and is manufactured in the U.S. at our Moses Lake, WA facility, the first automotive-scale silicon anode plant in America.

Rare earths got the headlines. But battery-grade graphite is more China-concentrated, and it's inside every #EV, #drone, and consumer #device running on a lithium-ion #battery.

Silicon anodes are 5x lighter, 20-40% more energy dense, and can be made in the U.S. Read more: https://t.co/bu8rF3lnv0

This week we opened our doors in Moses Lake to the One Washington Battery Summit — giving leaders from utilities, labor, academia, and policy a firsthand look at what it takes to make next-generation #battery materials in America.

Moses Lake has the workforce, the infrastructure, and the production capacity to lead the U.S. battery economy. Sila is proof of that.

[Sila @SilaNanotech]

The problem in U.S. #battery materials has never been the science. It's been scale.

Moses Lake is proof that next-gen anode materials can be made at industrial scale on U.S. soil. Our VP of Operations Chris Dougher spoke with @SME_MFG about the path from bench top to the country's first automotive-scale silicon anode plant.

Critical minerals are vital to U.S. national security, defense readiness, and energy resilience. The same challenges affecting critical minerals are also shaping the future of #battery materials and America's #energy infrastructure.

Sila was proud to join leaders from across industry and government on a panel hosted by @SOAAorg at the Library of Congress to discuss America's reliance on foreign mineral supply chains and the need for stronger domestic capabilities.

The conversation highlighted the importance of combining traditional resource development with innovative solutions to secure the materials powering both our defense and energy future.

"The opportunity for the U.S. isn't to copy what's already been done. It's to leapfrog — to invent something fundamentally better, and scale it here." — @SilaGene

Proud to be named one of the 17 startups rebuilding America in 2026 by @Inc.

58% of smartphone owners are frustrated with #battery life — more than storage, cameras, or display. The answer is a materials change that's been 35 years coming. Our CEO @SilaGene spoke with @alheeti_3 at @CNET on why silicon anodes are the inflection point.

[Sila @SilaNanotech]

The next generation of battery materials was invented in America and is being manufactured in America.

Our CEO and Co-founder @SilaGene makes the case in @Fortune for why this is the moment to lead — not catch up.

[Sila @SilaNanotech]

The U.S. #battery industry built strong cell and module capacity. Employment is at a 50-year high. 180+ facilities commissioned across 38 states.

The materials layer — where import dependency actually lives — hasn't scaled at the same pace.

That's the gap we're working on.

[Sila @SilaNanotech]

We invented and scaled a silicon anode that replaces a 34-year-old graphite standard — delivering more energy, faster charging, and lighter #batteries across EVs, consumer electronics, and beyond.

The transition from graphite to silicon is underway, and we're building it in the U.S.

Proud to be recognized on by @SFTribune.

Our Co-founder and CEO, @SilaGene, joins Dr. Jennifer McArdle and Rachel McCleery for Drone Dominance, Fully Charged at @Securing_Energy #SAFESummit2026.

They'll dive into the future of defense and what it takes to secure advanced #battery tech and build the domestic capacity to produce it at scale. Proud to be part of the solution for energy security and resilient supply chains.

[Sila @SilaNanotech]

For decades, Western companies invented battery technology and handed scale to China.

A small number are breaking that pattern — building real process capability here, at competitive economics. We built Sila to be one of them.
