SRS Distribution exists to transform how professional roofing contractors access building materials across America. Every day, thousands of contractors rely on timely product delivery to complete projects and grow their businesses - yet traditional distributors often lack the nationwide reach, inventory depth, and technology solutions that modern contractors demand.

Founded in 2008, SRS has grown rapidly through strategic acquisitions and a relentless focus on customer success.

Their Raise the Roof Foundation further extends this mission by supporting veterans, disaster relief, and families in crisis.

Black Semiconductor is a fast-growing semiconductor and deep-tech startup based in Aachen, Germany, focused on transforming how chips communicate and connect. The company’s core proposition is integrating high-speed graphene photonics directly onto electronic chips, enabling compute with electricity and communication with photons. In practice, this approach targets the bandwidth and energy bottlenecks created by standard electric interconnects - interconnects that are described as too slow, generating too much heat, wasting energy, and limiting bandwidth over short distances. Black Semiconductor positions its work around pioneering chip-to-chip connectivity by successfully integrating photonics and electronics on the same wafer. Its platform is built on graphene as an enabling material to create ultra-fast, energy-efficient, and scalable ‘chip fabrics’ that connect thousands of chips to interact ‘as if they were one.’ The company also emphasizes manufacturing integration, describing CMOS-compatible processing and stating that its graphene approach supports BEOL integration and mass-production scalability. Black Semiconductor is led by co-founders Daniel Schall (Co-founder & CEO) and Sebastian Schall (Co-founder & CFO).
