Mass Magnetics on the record

What they shipped

  • From its YC profile: Mass Magnetics turns recycled rare-earth scrap into high-performance permanent magnets, made in America. The materials we supply are the backbone of electric motors, sensors, speakers, hard drives, and electronics. Our process enables DFARS-compliant magnets for defense, aerospace, and industrial manufacturers who demand domestic supply without compromising on quality. Operations in Greater Boston, MA (Greentown Labs) and Columbus, IN. (source)
  • Its own site describes it as: "Secure, domestic, high-performance magnets, made fast and made in America. Rapid sintering from recycled feedstocks. DFARS 252.225-7052 compliant." (source)

Who is behind it

  • Eric Silver, Founder/CEO: Founder at Mass Magnetics. Worked in pilot cathode production for lithium-sulfur battery chemistries. Now I'm fixing American magnet supply chains. (source)
  • Matthew Groll, Founder/CTO: Co-founder and CTO at Mass Magnetics. Former NASA/Columbia/MIT. Previously worked on thermal systems and guidance/navigation at NASA Johnson Space Center for ISS and Artemis lunar missions. Also previously worked as a Member of Technical Staff at Draper Laboratory. Studied Mechanical Engineering at Columbia, captaining the Formula SAE team and Robotics Club, then earned a Masters in Manufacturing from MIT. (source)
