    2025 Rewind: Like Tesla For Watercraft: This Entrepreneur Is Leading The EV Boom At Sea

    Imagine a Tesla for watercraft. Jonathan Lord and cofounders Ben Sorkin and Daylin Frantin started building electric boating company Flux Marine in 2018 after years of research at Princeton University. Seven years later, the pair have raised more than $30 million in funding to develop EVs for the sea. “Since age 14, I spent many days out on the water. I had the opportunity to see a beautiful environment—except for the noise and the smell of these gas engines,” Lord says. Flux Marine operates out of Bristol, Rhode Island, and builds high-performance electric outboard motors (up to 150 horsepower) and battery systems for small boats. Flux largely works with existing manufacturers to power new builds—boats with Flux engines cost around $120,000. But it also offers some “repowers,” in which they’ll swap out old engines to make existing boats more climate-friendly. “The electric revolution is happening,” Lord says. “We’re really just at the beginning.” Learn more about your ad choices.

    2025 Rewind - How This Entrepreneur Raised $22 Million For Pasta Sauce Brand Sauz

    Troy Bonde and his cofounder, Winston Alfieri, are taking aim at America’s estimated $2.5 billion (sales) pasta sauce market. Their brand, Los Angeles–based Sauz, has attracted younger shoppers with creative combos like miso-garlic and hot honey marinara—flavors far from traditional red-sauce Italian-American cuisine. “We try to identify flavor trends across categories that are familiar enough that we don’t necessarily have to go educate consumers on,” says Bonde, Sauz’s CEO. The pair has raised nearly $22 million from VCs and is on track to make $15 million in revenue by the end of 2025. Bonde and Alfieri initially partnered during the pandemic making a hand sanitizer dispenser that doubled as a thermometer. To conserve cash, they lived on pasta. Soon, they grew tired of limited flavor options and, as Covid faded, pivoted from sanitizer to sauce. Today, their jars are sold in 8,000 retail locations such as Whole Foods, Sprouts and Target.
