Have you experienced the “warmest jacket on Earth?” That’s what Pamela Danziger at Forbes said about the OROS Labs Solarcore parka. There’s actually a video where they spray the outside of the coat with liquid nitrogen and show that it’s still toasty warm inside. I have one of these coats — and it lives up to the hype. I had a hand in helping OROS grow from essentially $0 to several million in just a few months, working with the brilliant Michael Markesbery and Rithvik Venna. Michael is the CEO & Co-founder of OROS Labs, and Forbes 30 under 30 winner. OROS Labs is a material technology company. They create the most advanced thermal materials on the planet. OROS Labs technology, Solarcore®, leverages the thermal properties of aerogel, the lowest thermal conductive solid in existence, to transform insulation across government, commercial & consumer industries. In this episode of the Up Arrow Podcast by Elumynt, Michael and I dig into: ✅ How Michael went from studying zoology to creating space-grade insulation materials ✅ The strategic decision to relocate the team to Portland for talent acquisition and cultural alignment ✅ How OROS Labs attracted top-tier talent like Jeff Nash (a materials engineer from The North Face and Black Diamond Equipment) early in the company's growth ✅ Generating product awareness through practical demonstrations ✅ OROS’ vision to expand into multiple industries ✅ The importance of a great advisory board and how Joe Flannery (previous CMO of The North Face) was able to connect them with the perfect materials engineer Plus, as always, we get into a little of the personal stuff as we talk about the brilliant advice he got from his grandpa at childhood dinners, his dream to buy (and fly) a fighter jet, and a live show and tell of aerogel.
