Building the next American battery platform with non-flammable, domestically scalable potassium-ion batteries (KIBs). Born from Nobel Laureate Goodenough’s lab.

Congratulations to @G1_Group1 and to the University of Texas’ Lab that first discovered Lithium-Ion battery technology. A potassium-ion breakthrough will be incredibly important to the security of the west (given potassium’s superabundance in North America).
We are excited to announce a UT Seed Fund investment in @G1_Group1! The startup, born out of John Goodenough's lab, is developing groundbreaking potassium-ion battery technology as a lithium alternative. Congrats @AlexanderGirau & Group1! #whatstartshere news.utexas.edu/2023/08/29/dis…

Founder × Agentic AI = Force Multiplier Startups love to say they “move fast.” But in 2025, speed isn’t about hustle—it’s about leverage. At @G1_Group1 , AI isn’t a layer we added later. It’s embedded in how we build the company—across tech, operations, and leadership. •…
Since arriving in China, meetings founders and VCs have left me with a very dim view of the current state affairs. Things are so bad. In 2018, 51,302 new startups were founded. Last year, that number was down to 1,202. It took a while for that number to sink in.

BREAKING NEWS: Three scientists have won the 2023 #NobelPrize in Chemistry for their research on the discovery and synthesis of quantum dots. Moungi G. Bawendi, Louis E. Brus and Alexei I. Ekimov share prize for research that added color to nanotechnology cen.acs.org/people/nobel-p…
Today we are pleased to announce a strategic partnership and technology license agreement with Sharp Corporation for potassium-ion battery technology. linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…
There have been many attempts recently by authorities to regulate LiBs following a spate of fires. This trend with increasing as battery adoption grows. What is @G1_Group1 doing about it? Potassium-ion batteries are Safer, Sustainable, and have Superior Performance to LiBs.
After 42 pitches and 300+ meetings, investors and energy corporations selected 8 companies as the "Most Promising" at the 2023 Rice Alliance Energy Venture Day: Group1, Pressure Corp, C-Power, H Quest Vanguard, Inc, Ionada, STARS Technology, EarthEn and AeroShield Materials!
Global battery production is set to surpass one terawatt-hour for the first time in 2023 - a 500% increase since 2018. @benchmarkmin data The lithium ion battery has shifted from start up to scale up. #EV source.benchmarkminerals.com/article/batter…
The Group1 team is grateful for a wonderful 2022. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to all those that made Group1 a reality!
Our goal at @G1_Group1 is not to compete with LiBs. But to seamlessly fill the growing gap between battery production capacity and material availability. Our goal is ambitious, yet pragmatic. Times like these require ambitious, yet pragmatic solutions. bit.ly/3PXndkl
