In this episode of Building The Future Of, I'm speaking with Margaret Upshur, founder and CEO of Mobius Materials.

Mobius is a marketplace to directly buy and sell excess electronic components, helping manufacturers save 10-70% off common parts, get access to rare stock and reduce waste.

The company was founded in 2021.
