The CEOs Behind America’s Next Frontier in Air & Sea Travel
Adam Goldstein, Billy Thalheimer, Mitch Lee, Molly O'Shea
Archer Aviation secures a $100 million investment to manufacture the Midnight eVTOL for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, while Regent Defense expands into maritime logistics with Sea Gliders that deliver rapid, low-detection resupply for the U.S. Marine Corps. ARC Boats accelerates the transition to electric watercraft through proprietary battery integration and software-driven automation, achieving zero-to-customer delivery in 24 months with a similar $100 million funding round. These three ventures collectively address critical gaps in urban air mobility, contested maritime supply chains, and sustainable recreational marine transport.

The Electrification of Everything: From Sky to Sea
Gregory Davis, Mitch Lee, Duncan McIntyre
Industry leaders are accelerating the electrification of transport by deploying electric aircraft, municipal fleets, and recreational marine vessels to address critical environmental and operational inefficiencies. Gregory Davis, Duncan McIntyre, and Mitch Lee are driving this shift through specialized strategies, including certifying short-haul electric planes under existing regulations, implementing vehicle-to-grid revenue models for school buses, and integrating high-capacity battery packs directly into boat hulls. These innovations are expected to reshape global energy demand, reduce pollution in urban and coastal areas, and unlock new secondary revenue streams through grid services and autonomous utilization.
