Each Unplugged session features an experienced entrepreneur discussing their startup experiences. Unplugged discussions highlight how successful startups are created – as well as pitfalls – through an engaging interview format.

Silicon Flatirons and Venture Partners at CU Boulder are proud to present an Entrepreneurs Unplugged event with featured entrepreneur, Doug Campbell.

Doug Campbell is Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Louisville-based Solid Power. Mr. Campbell is a veteran entrepreneur who has founded multiple successful companies.

Solid Power’s story has special ties to CU Boulder. Solid Power’s core technologies, all-solid-state EV batteries and a proprietary sulfide-based electrolyte expand upon breakthroughs made in CU’s labs. In its early days, Solid Power earned investments from prominent companies including Hyundai, Volta Energy Technologies, Umicore, Sanoh, A123 Systems, and Solvay. Today, Solid Power has extensive partnerships with BMW, Ford, and SK Innovation.

Solid Power went public on December 8, 2021. This year, the company is focused on producing full-scale all-solid-state EV cell prototypes to kick off formal automotive qualification testing.
