Flux Marine’s Raise for Electric Outboards Scaling
Plus Nuclear All Over Maritime, and Robotic Oyster Picking

Hello Ocean Friends,
Super excited to celebrate Ben Sorkin’s new $15M raise for Flux Marine. Ben has supported me over and over again since we met, providing free Flux rides at the first NYC OceanTech Summit, volunteering for the interview experiment on BlueX, and countless others. I’m super excited to be able to celebrate his good news. Ben is a good guy, and I wish him and the Flux Marine team all the best with the successful raise. (BTW Flux’s CTO just made Forbes’ 30 under 30 list too.)
Best,
Will
