Slate is based in the State of Michigan in the United States. Slate’s are engineered and manufactured in America. Jeff Bezos is funding Slate that could start production as soon as 2026, according to multiple sources. The company quietly raised at least $111 million in a Series A round in 2023, according to a public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Bezos was involved, and Melinda Lewison, the person who manages his family office, is listed as a director on paperwork Slate has filed with states and the federal government. The filing shows 16 people invested in that round; it is unclear how much Bezos put into the company.
