Windmill
Windmill is a New York-based modern air care brand that redesigned the window air conditioner - and the unglamorous category around it - into sleek, app-connected, energy-efficient products. Founded by brothers Mike and Danny Mayer with third-generation AC expert Ryan Figlia, the company has expanded from a single quiet window unit into a full suite of air care: ACs, medical-grade HEPA air purifiers, fans, and subscription central air filters. With over 100,000 ACs sold and shelf space in Home Depot, Best Buy, and Lowe's, Windmill is betting that clean, comfortable air should look good and feel effortless.

After closing a $10M Series A led by Silas Capital in March 2026, Freestyle is scaling across Walmart, Target, Whole Foods, Amazon, and its own subscription channel.
Material
Material is a New York-based direct-to-consumer kitchenware company building beautifully designed, non-toxic, and sustainably made cooking essentials that are meant to last a lifetime. Founded in 2017 by Eunice Byun and Dave Nguyen, the brand pairs minimalist design with thoughtful materials - Japanese steel knives, copper-core pans, and the reBoard cutting board made from recycled plastic scraps and sugarcane - to make everyday cooking simpler and more pleasurable.
Tesla Model 3
The Tesla Model 3 is a battery electric mid-size sedan that became the world's best-selling plug-in electric car for three consecutive years (2018-2020) and the first EV to surpass 1 million global sales. Designed by Franz von Holzhausen and produced since 2017, it combines minimalist design, over-the-air software updates, and Autopilot capabilities at a more accessible price point than Tesla's earlier vehicles.
Volvo XC40 Recharge
The Volvo XC40 Recharge is Volvo's first fully battery-electric vehicle, a subcompact luxury crossover SUV that merges Scandinavian design with zero-emission performance. Launched in 2020 and renamed the EX40 in 2024, it offers up to 402 horsepower, a Google-powered infotainment system, and Volvo's legendary safety standards in a practical, city-friendly package.
BMW iX
The BMW iX is a battery-electric mid-size luxury crossover SUV that represents BMW's most ambitious step into the electric era. Built on a bespoke aluminum and carbon-fiber architecture at the Dingolfing plant, it pairs fifth-generation eDrive technology with a cabin that feels more lounge than cockpit. Since its 2021 debut, the iX has served as BMW's technology flagship, showcasing curved iDrive 8 displays, a self-healing sensor grille, and semi-autonomous driving capability.
Volvo C40 Recharge
The Volvo C40 Recharge is a compact luxury electric crossover coupe - Volvo's first model designed exclusively as a battery-electric vehicle from the ground up. It pairs a coupe-style sloping roofline with a leather-free Scandinavian interior, Google Built-in infotainment, IIHS Top Safety Pick+ ratings, and up to 297 miles of EPA-estimated range, making it a premium EV for buyers who value design, sustainability, and safety over maximum range or lowest cost.
