Olympian Motors is an electric vehicle company, based in New York. Olympian is manufacturing Electric Vehicles of the 21st century. We are reinventing the car manufacturing and bringing agility, speed and cost-efficiency back to the U.S. automotive industry. Olympian engineered a new modular vehicle + modular manufacturing model. We target 80% reduction in tooling and labor expenses and ~60% faster production lead time. We challenge the status-quo in automotive. Olympian rejects todays standardized and banal car experience. We prioritize aesthetic, nature and minimalism. We use steel and wood in Olympian cars, not cheap plastic and toxic chemicals. We developed a minimalistic and intuitive cockpit UX, powered by Operating System (OOS) Olympian Motors developed a disruptive manufacturing model. We minimized tooling, fitment and labor costs. We radically shortened design-to-production period from 4+ years to 8 months and built ~50% faster production lead time. We will change the manufacturing inertia and disrupt the monopolies of the American automotive industry.

Food demand is projected to more than double by 2050. Meanwhile, over 1/3 of produced food is thrown away. How can meet the growing demand without further exploiting our planet? At Perfekto, we want to change the broken food system with its strict industry standards and supply chain inefficiencies that lead to loss of edible food due to cosmetic imperfections, short shelf-life, surplus and others. We do this by offering a grocery subscription box that includes food items that would otherwise be thrown away. Thereby creating a community of conscious buyers that value taste and quality instead of size or looks.
