Arc Co-Founder and CEO Mitch Lee

About this episode

Mitch Lee discusses his journey to co-founding Arc and the company's impact on the marine industry through electrification.

Mitch Lee is the Co-Founder and CEO of Arc, a company electrifying the marine industry, starting with recreational boating. In the conversation, Mitch walks through the path that led him to Arc, from a childhood fascination with stocks and compounding interest, to building and selling his first company, to betting big on what electrification can unlock on the water. Founded in 2021, Arc has since raised over $110 million through its Series B and scaled from delivering its first customer boat to producing multiple boats per week, while also landing major commercial partnerships at working ports.
