Founder & Vision

Founded by Brian Rodriguez—a Phoenix entrepreneur with early wins from Tesla's IPO to AI ventures—ResQ is rapidly expanding nationwide from Arizona, deploying community recycling bins to capture hundreds to thousands of discarded single-use batteries. We're recovering critical minerals (70%+ refined in China) and repatriating them into black mass for American food, EVs, homes, and businesses—bolstering U.S. energy independence. We are focused on innovation and supporting the USA front with all American-made products, veteran hiring preferences, and delivering profitable impact without harming the planet.
