The Startup Life


Apr 5, 2020

In this episode, we talk to Douglas Campbell (Founder of Solid Power, Inc & Roccor, LLC) as we discuss his unusual path to entrepreneurship, how he is leading his team amidst the COVID-19 world pandemic, and how tough it can be starting two separate companies at the same time.

** More on Douglass**

Formally trained as an engineer and self-taught as a scrappy, aggressive, and laser-focused entrepreneur with a never-say-die attitude, I see myself as a bit of an outsider, as a leader paving the way for a new breed of no BS entrepreneurs. And, believe me, there is no shortage of hype in this community.

What brought me to where I am today – founder of two multi-million dollar tech startups – is a powerful drive toward non-conformity and a desire to do away with the posing and the posturing that seems to go hand-and-hand with today’s startup ecosystem.

I am currently CEO of Solid Power and board chairman of Roccor, leading providers of technologies and products to the electric vehicle and spacecraft markets, respectively. Both companies are positioned within well-established industries – and are being funded and supported
by the likes of Ford Motor Company and NASA – and are currently undergoing and driving transformational change.
