Company
Fleetzero
Making all ships robots.
We build electric and hybrid propulsion systems tailored for large ships to reduce emissions and increase efficiency. We're also developing unmanned cargo vessels that can operate autonomously, targeting the heavy industry shipping market where electrification and autonomy haven't been done at scale.
We're based in Houston, Texas now and plan to remain here after YC to stay close to the maritime and energy industries central to our customers and partners.
Houston is a global hub for shipping and energy, so it puts us where the shipyards, crews, and decision makers are. Being here lets us test directly with industrial ships and move fast on hardware and deployments.
