Redwood Credit Union

GreenState Credit Union exists to create lasting value for its members, communities, and employees through a member-owned financial cooperative model. Founded in 1938, GreenState has grown to become Iowa's largest financial institution with over $10 billion in assets and 400,000 members across Iowa, Illinois, and Nebraska. Unlike traditional banks that prioritize shareholder profits, GreenState returns earnings to members through lower loan rates, lower fees, and higher savings yields - consistently ranking in the top 1% of credit unions nationwide for returning value to members. The credit union offers comprehensive financial services including checking and savings accounts, auto loans, mortgages, credit cards, and wealth management, all while maintaining a commitment to strengthening financial well-being in the communities it serves. Named a Top Workplace for seven consecutive years, GreenState fosters an engaging, diverse, and inclusive workplace where employees know their work makes an impact. The credit union's culture is built on empowering teams to create opportunities that transform lives and enhance community vitality. With 35 office locations across the Midwest and a robust digital banking platform, GreenState combines personalized service with modern convenience. Through the GreenState Foundation, the credit union extends its mission beyond banking by supporting financial education and community initiatives, demonstrating that its purpose extends far beyond transactions to genuinely improving the financial futures of its members and neighbors.

Redwood Trust is a specialty finance company focused on distinct areas of housing credit. The company operates as a real estate investment trust and provides liquidity to growing segments of the U.S. housing market that are not well served by government programs. Since its founding in 1994, Redwood Trust has established itself as a leading participant in residential, business purpose, and multifamily investments. The company operates through multiple business platforms including Sequoia Mortgage Banking, CoreVest Finance (serving residential real estate investors), Aspire (alternative credit products), Redwood Investments, and RWT Horizons (focused on financial and real estate technology). Redwood Trust is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol RWT and has delivered value to shareholders through disciplined credit risk management and innovative capital solutions. The company's corporate mission is to make quality housing - whether rented or owned - accessible to all American households.

BECU exists to improve the financial well-being of its members and communities. Founded in 1935 by a small group of Boeing employees who pooled their resources - starting with just $9 and a $2.50 loan to help a coworker buy tools - BECU has grown from those humble beginnings into one of the nation's leading credit unions, now serving over 1.5 million members with more than $30 billion in managed assets. Headquartered in Tukwila, Washington, BECU operates as a member-owned, not-for-profit financial cooperative guided by the credit union philosophy of "people helping people." As a cooperative, every member is an owner, which means BECU returns earnings to members through better rates, lower fees, and community investments rather than distributing profits to outside shareholders. BECU's commitment extends beyond traditional banking services. Through financial education programs, seminars and webinars, scholarships, community grants, and the BECU Foundation, the credit union actively works to build stronger communities and help people achieve financial health. With a focus on inclusion and empowerment, BECU fosters a culture where employees and members alike can grow and thrive. The credit union offers a full range of financial services including checking and savings accounts, credit cards, auto and home loans, investment services, trust services, and business banking - all designed to help members achieve their financial goals while making a positive impact in the communities they serve.

In 2017, JB Straubel - Tesla's co-founder and former CTO - realized something critical: the electric vehicle revolution was creating a massive battery waste problem, and the U.S. was dangerously dependent on foreign supply chains for critical materials. While still at Tesla, he saw firsthand how lithium, nickel, cobalt, and copper were extracted and processed halfway around the world, only to end up in landfills when batteries reached end-of-life. So he founded Redwood Materials with a singular vision to create a closed-loop, domestic battery supply chain that would keep these materials in circulation forever. What started as a recycling operation in a Nevada facility has evolved into something far more transformative. Today, Redwood recycles end-of-life batteries to recover up to 95% of critical minerals, then refines and manufactures those materials into new battery components - all on American soil. The company has become the largest lithium-ion battery recycler in North America, processing around 90% of all recycled lithium-ion batteries on the continent. Beyond recycling, Redwood now deploys large-scale energy storage systems that power data centers and the nation's grid, including a groundbreaking microgrid project using repurposed EV batteries outside Reno. With two campuses in Nevada and South Carolina, an R&D center in San Francisco, and partnerships spanning Volkswagen, Toyota, BMW, Panasonic, and GM, Redwood is fundamentally reshaping how the world thinks about batteries - not as disposable products, but as perpetually recyclable resources.
