Hello to our WeFunder investment community! Over the last few weeks, you should have begun receiving an email series about the very pivotal last 9 months. ARKHAUS is now The Ark Companies, a portfolio of 3 synergistic startups propelling maritime hospitality, transportation, and advanced vessels into an all-electric future. Here's how it happened:Having received 2 vessels, ARKHAUS Miami has soft-launched and is already operating near $1MM ARRAs we developed an all-electric water taxi service for ARKHAUS, we realized the massive global demand for zero-emission waterborne transportation. We converted this effort into a mobility-tech platform and spun out E-LIXR, the all-electric water taxi platform and network.The primary reason ARKHAUS has experienced delays is because while we were busy knocking out everything we had to do, we unfortunately didn't have control of the manufacturing of the vessels. Not until now. We recently acquired Arkup, the designer and builder of the revolutionary vessels ARKHAUS is built on. Not only did this acquisition vertically integrate Arkup and ARKHAUS, but it also created a myriad of other synergies with the E-lixr water taxi platform. Arkup has sold ~$15mm of its Livable Yachts in the last 3 years.WE NEED YOUR HELPTo support the build and growth of this synergistic ecosystem, The Ark Companies is now raising a $5MM round. $1MM of this round is reserved for a new crowdfunding raise right here on WeFunder. And the first $250K of commitments will get a 10% better Early Bird valuation cap. We want you, our earliest investors, to get that benefit!Would you consider making a new follow-on investment in at least the same amount you made previously? If you do, you'll help push our campaign out of "Testing The Waters" and live on WeFunder, where it will get the broader raise it needs.If you would like to:Invest now, go here.Learn more about the Ark Companies, go here.We're excited to continue building the most important ecosystem of sustainable maritime companies and generate value for you as an investor. Thank you for your support!Welcome aboard,Sam Payrovi
