Aurora Cuberg

Sodium-Ion

A lack of focus on core business segments led to overstretched resources and operational inefficiencies.

Each funding round was paired with a new program or product launch, further diluting focus and straining capacity.

Loan structures with rising interest rates starting in 2024 demanded disciplined execution, which was hindered by competing priorities and insufficient workforce support.
