REGENT raises a $240.0M Series B round

REGENT’s seagliders will revolutionize regional transportation. Our mission is to drastically reduce the cost and headache of moving people and goods between coastal cities. Our vehicle, called a seaglider, is an all-electric, wing-in-ground-effect craft that operates within a wingspan of the water's surface and couples the speed of an airplane with the operating cost of a boat. Built to the same safety standards of all modern aircraft and watercraft, our vehicle will service routes up to 180 miles with existing battery technology and routes up to 500 miles with next-gen batteries, all via existing dock infrastructure. Our team of MIT-trained, ex-Boeing engineers are leveraging maritime vehicle development pathways to bring our zero-emission, high-speed seagliders to market within five years.

Airbound raises a $37.0M Series A round

Airbound builds autonomous, zero-infrastructure delivery aircraft — engineered, manufactured, and flown in India. Its TRT blended-wing-body tailsitter takes off vertically without a runway and flies cargo to places roads serve badly, with an ultra-lightweight airframe that weighs less than the payload it carries. The Bengaluru company has logged over 13,000 autonomous flights, moves diagnostic samples for hospital networks today, and is targeting per-delivery costs low enough to compete with trucking. The Series A funds a three-city drone delivery network in Andhra Pradesh and a larger next-generation craft.
