Interview with Sampriti Bhattacharyya, whose electric flying boat startup, Navier, promises to transform how we move people and goods in our coastal cities. In just 4 years, Navier has gone from concept to entering production. The Alameda, CA based startup has already signed a deal to shuttle Strip employees back and forth across the bay. This is our newest HyperGuap investment (my VC firm) and I couldn't be more fired up about the potential! I rode in a Navier in SF and was blown away at the product, smooth, quiet, and luxurious ... transforming what it means to be on a boat. The company's mission is to be America's next great maritime company, I hope they crush it!!
