Brunswick Corporation
Brunswick began with a billiard table in 1845. Today, its engines, electronics, boats and clubs form an unusually complete marine ecosystem - a bet that the future of boating belongs to whoever makes the whole experience easier.
ePropelled
ePropelled is a New Hampshire-based engineering company that designs intelligent electric motors, motor controllers, starter generators and power-management systems for uncrewed vehicles across air, land and sea. Built on patented magnetics technology - including its Dynamic Torque Switching (eDTS) architecture that reconfigures motor windings on the fly to boost efficiency - the company supplies drone and UAV manufacturers, defense programs and industrial customers with lightweight, high-efficiency propulsion. Founded in 2018 by serial entrepreneur Nick Grewal, ePropelled raised a $15M Series A in 2021 and has grown to roughly 110 employees with operations in the US, UK and India.
Electra.aero
Electra.aero is a Manassas, Virginia aerospace company building the EL9, a nine-passenger hybrid-electric 'Ultra Short' aircraft that takes off and lands in about 150 feet - roughly a soccer field - without conventional runways, charging stations, or the noise of a normal airplane. Using blown-lift aerodynamics and eight electric motors, it aims to open regional and community air travel from grass strips and small airfields while cutting emissions, with FAA Part 23 certification targeted for 2029.
Arc
Arc is a Los Angeles electric boat company building battery-powered watercraft from the ground up - software, motors, battery packs and hulls - rather than retrofitting gas boats. Founded in 2021 by veterans of SpaceX, Rivian and Tesla, Arc started with the high-end Arc One, found its commercial footing with the Arc Sport electric wake boat and the Arc Coast center console, and is now extending its propulsion stack into commercial and defense vessels including electric and hybrid tugboats. The pitch: quiet, fume-free, low-maintenance boats with the torque and software experience of an EV.
