Feon Energy is pioneering the next leap in energy storage by revolutionizing battery electrolytes, the critical yet often overlooked component. Our pharma-inspired molecule design platform enables us to invent tailored electrolyte molecules for each battery chemistrys unique needs, rather than force-fitting existing materials. This innovative approach allows us to develop non-flammable, high-performance electrolytes that unlock new frontiers in safety, cost, and energy density. By redefining battery electrolyte, we are set to transform industries - from making electric vehicles safer and more accessible to enabling the future of electrified aviation. Based in the greater Boston area and born from Stanford University research, were not just improving batteries; were revolutionizing how energy is stored and used.

Founded in 2015, JBD is focused on developing the smallest, brightest, and most efficient micro-display panels. JBD has achieved ultra-high yield and uniformity on the III-V and III-Nitride epilayer transfer and bonding onto CMOS wafers, making the hybrid integration technology commercially viable. JBD is currently transitioning from a research-and-development phase into a manufacturing-and-sales phase. In April 2019, JBD is releasing a 5-micron-pitch series. This series contains monochromatic panels with a resolution of 1280 by 720. The 2.5-um pitch engineering samples are also available to customers by request. The 2.5-um pitch series is scheduled to be released in late 2020. With a pilot fab established in Shanghai CHINA, JBD continues to expand its manufacturing capacity and extend its development effort to support its customers.
