Accelerating Our Business Plans


Epoch friends, advisors, and investors,

Working on our business strategies & plans was a big priority for us this month as we prepare for our first commercial-ready boats. And of course, that also includes ongoing work fine-tuning our hydrofoil system and hull design (although on-water testing doesn't always feel like work!)

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

JULY UPDATE

Acceleration & Investment

This month we participated in the University of Pennsylvania's 6 week business accelerator program - Pennovation. Each week we met up with the 2022 summer cohort of innovative Philadelphia area startups to further develop our business & investment strategy so we can scale up quickly. 

The program ended with a final pitch day to potential investors. A big thanks for all the feedback & support we received from the Pennovation Center team, 76 Forward, PCI Ventures, mentors and other entrepreneur participants!

Waitlist Growth

Early customer demand for our Skiff Boat Series remains strong as we prepare for our preorder and commercial launch phases. If you are on our waitlist please hang tight - we hope to share next steps soon.

Production Updates

  • We're continuing to gather hull testing data, finalize foil specifications and fine-tune deck design as we prepare for our commercial-ready production.
  • 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.

Flying Over Water


Did you know that foils on boats (hydrofoils) work like wings on an airplane?

They utilize pressure gradients to create lift. This allows Epoch to efficiently "fly over water" at speeds exceeding 30 mph with a 10-15h equivalent electric motor and 5kWh battery.

This is a little peek at foils lifting our prototype boat out of the water. We look forward to sharing more soon!

What’s Next:

  • More on-water prototype testing! Keep an eye on social media for test updates, including video demos. We expect to show MUCH more in the month ahead!
  • 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.
