Good for the Environment... and Boaters

Epoch friends, advisors, and investors,

This month we've been focused on showcasing our technology to partners & investors, more on-water testing, and reflecting on our environmental mission.

Here's a recap of what our team has been up to this past month, and what to expect next from Epoch Boats.

APRIL UPDATE

Our Environmental Goals at Epoch

In honor of this year’s Earth Day we thought we’d share the goals we strive for as it relates to the environment.

As a climate tech startup we often find ourselves balancing capitalism and devotion to the environment. The good news for us is that the two goals are not mutually exclusive - we CAN be a green AND successful boat builder.

Epoch Boats aims to reduce recreational boating’s impact on the environment, and we will achieve that goal by transitioning recreational boaters to our high-performance hydrofoil electric boats that are engineered to be more efficient and eco-friendly.

Startup Showcase
This month we were invited to showcase at the Philly Makers-Meetup, an event that brings together innovative Philadelphia area manufacturing startups & potential investors. It was a great opportunity to highlight our hydrofoil technology, get feedback on our business plan and share prototype progress for our upcoming launch.

Production Updates

We now have U.S. Coast Guard registration and approval! Our official manufacturer code is ANK.
SOLIDWORKS has accepted us into their 3DEXPERIENCE Works for Startups Program! As an early stage hardware startup in their program we get free access to software and other resources to help us scale up.
We're continuing to gather hull testing data and finalizing foil specifications for optimal efficiency and speed as we prepare for our commercial-ready production.
If you recently signed up for our waitlist thank you for your interest & patience! We're continuing to reach out for one-on-one conversations with waitlist customers to answer initial questions and get feedback on our boat features & options. Details on preordering are coming soon.
Progress on our prototype is being shared with real-time updates on social media, so be sure to follow us on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter. If you were forwarded a copy of this email be sure to subscribe for our monthly updates.

What’s Next:

More on-water prototype testing! Keep an eye on social media for test updates, including video demos.
Boat Features & Options: We're continuing to evaluate standard features and available options, along with preferred suppliers. Final specifications will also be based on boater feedback and preferences.
Boat Demos: Our first on-water demo experience is scheduled for late May with a partner... its an exciting step that brings us closer to commercial production availability!
Preorders: Our waitlist customers will soon get details on preorder availability so that we can prioritize first shipments this summer.
