<h3>About Liminal Insights</h3>
Liminal&rsquo;s mission is to accelerate the clean energy transition by improving the cost, quality, and reliability of battery manufacturing. We do this by providing customers with better analytics and insights during production. Our breakthrough EchoStat&reg; platform uses ultrasound and machine learning technology to supply customers with the information needed to accelerate production ramp-up, improve productivity and reliability, and detect critical defects early. Liminal has active product evaluations with major cell manufacturers and EV OEMs, and is on track to close multiple $M deployment contracts for commercial cell production in 2023.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Liminal is based in Emeryville, California. Our investors include ArcTern Ventures, Ecosystem Integrity Fund, Chrysalix Ventures, Volta Energy Technologies and Northvolt. We also have funding support from the Department of Energy&rsquo;s ARPA-E, the National Science Foundation and California Energy Commission.&nbsp;
