Moxion Power Co.
The business, the turning points, and the decisions behind them.
01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Moxion Power built portable battery systems intended to replace diesel generators at worksites, live events and other temporary-power applications.
02 / Moxion Power Co. FAILURE REASONS
Failure reasons
Employee notices reported unsuccessful investor talks and a final funding shortfall. Former managers interviewed by Latitude Media also described premature expansion before technical and market-fit problems were resolved; these are attributed interview assessments.
03 / EVENT HISTORY
Events in the structured record
- Company founded
Moxion Power is founded to replace diesel generators with towable zero-emission mobile batteries, the MP-75/600 (75 kW, 600+ kWh).
- Series B
Moxion raises a $100 million Series B backed by Amazon's Climate Pledge Fund, Microsoft's Climate Innovation Fund, Energy Impact Partners, Tamarack Global and Sunbelt Rentals.
- Shutdown and liquidation
After a rapid expansion and a 101-employee layoff in June, Moxion shuts down on July 26, 2024; on August 13 it files for Chapter 7 liquidation in Delaware with $86.9 million in liabilities and just $201,980 in cash. Co-founder Paul Huelskamp later launches Anode Technology Company to 'finish what we started'.
