Sila Nanotechnologies: Company Profile & Valuation

Gleb Yushin, Alex Jacobs, and Gene Berdichevsky founded Sila Nanotechnologies in 2011, growing it out of a Georgia Tech startup phase before settling on the Sila name, which means power in Ukrainian and Russian. The company makes Titan Silicon, a nanoengineered silicon-carbon anode material that replaces graphite in lithium-ion batteries to boost energy density and cut charging time.

Sila's batteries already ship inside the WHOOP 4.0 fitness tracker, and Mercedes-Benz has said it will use Titan Silicon anodes in its G-Class vehicles, with Panasonic also planning to adopt the technology. The company raised $375 million to complete its gigascale factory in Moses Lake, Washington, which began operations in 2025.
