It is emerging from stealth concurrent with a $10.75M seed raise. Founders Tyler Presser and Charlie Horowitz lead the company and have begun expanding the team with hires including Michael David Francois as Head of Growth and Wesley Baxter as Head of Laser Communications. The announced seed financing will be used to scale hiring and build the business.

Revoy develops a removable electric propulsion unit that is installed between a tractor and trailer to give existing diesel trucks electric-assist capability. The company says a unit can propel a 36.3-ton truck for more than 200 miles (322 km) on a full charge and can cut carbon emissions by up to 85%. Revoy operates under a model where it retains ownership of the motorized trailers while fleet customers keep their existing diesel tractors. The startup plans to ultimately build a network of swap stations to exchange depleted units for fully charged ones. Revoy intends to begin its first commercial operations late this year on a 200-mile route near Portland, Oregon, deploying four trailers assembled from Chinese components. The company is using its recent $27 million financing (bringing total capital raised to $41 million) to fund that launch and to develop a second-generation trailer with a smaller, lower-cost battery while maintaining the same claimed range.

Peregrine Technologies builds an AI-driven platform that connects police records, 911 logs, permit databases, sensor feeds, and other government data to make an agency’s institutional data searchable and usable in real time without collecting or owning that data. The company emphasizes role-based access controls, full audit trails, and that it does not use facial recognition. Peregrine serves more than 400 agencies and organizations representing roughly 125 million people across North America and expects to be working with close to 1,000 cities by year-end. Management has declined to share revenue figures, but says the customer base has more than doubled over the past year. The founders, CEO Nick Noone and CTO Ben Rudolph, previously held roles at Palantir and humanitarian and global health data organizations. Peregrine plans to use new capital for product development, hiring across engineering and implementation, and international expansion while preparing internal operations to be IPO-ready.
