From TDK Ventures's press release
“TDK Ventures has been searching for a company with the right combination of team, technology, and business model to tackle this enormous battery quality challenge. The three cofounders of Somerville, MA-based Glimpse bring 30 years of experience in various aspects of battery technology, allowing them to build a solution tailor-made for battery quality control. This impressive team has built a quality management solution that seamlessly integrates into battery quality control workflows, while also creating previously inaccessible insights. Their software suite is compatible with a wide range of existing industrial CT scanning hardware, making it suitable for deployment in any gigafactory, most of which are already equipped with several CT scanners.”
“The battery quality challenge is underappreciated given its criticality to global electrification efforts.” — Nicolas Sauvage, President, TDK Ventures, who takes a board seat as part of this fundraise
Glimpse's founders enthusiastically welcome TDK Ventures as a proven partner in the battery industry, whose team invested early in companies like Peak Energy and AM Batteries. “Glimpse was founded on the premise that the battery industry has spent the last two decades focusing on scaling up cell production facilities and rapidly improving cell performance, while relying on an insufficient set of quality control tools,” said Glimpse Chief Executive Officer and co-founder Eric Moch. “Our goal at Glimpse is to ensure that every cell in any battery-powered product is free of manufacturing defects. We’re excited to welcome TDK Ventures as a sophisticated partner with a proven track record of early investment in high-growth deep-technology ventures.”
