Our Story

Where it all began

For CEO Mike Peasgood, big dreams were planted early at the helm of a small sailboat. The thrill of sailing ignited a passion only the water can offer—a deep love of freedom, motion, and connection. That spark grew into a bold vision: to reimagine boating and revolutionize life on the water through ENVGO.

The startup journey

This is where it all started: the entrepreneurial spark, the passion for flight, and the pursuit of building world-class technology. Mike Peasgood co-founded Aeryon Labs, where he engineered high-performance autonomous systems that became trusted tools for defense and public safety agencies around the world. The company grew into an international success, and forged the elite team now pioneering the future of boating at ENVGO.

reigniting the spark

What started as a personal project turned into the beginnings of ENVGO—a 3-foot prototype designed to prove the fundamentals of hydrofoiling. Building robots is in our DNA, and this was the first step toward reimagining the future of water mobility: bringing flight to water.

Founders. Builders. entrepreneurs.

The ENVGO founding team came together to rethink boat design from the keel up. With deep expertise in aerospace engineering, robotics, and AI-powered autonomy, we saw an opportunity to disrupt a centuries-old industry.

taking flight

Our first project was a 12-foot, single-seat prototype where we built the entire technology stack, from helm to propeller and everything in between. This was more than a test—it validated our models, proved our technology, and delivered something unforgettable: the pure thrill of flight over water.

introducing nv1

Building on that success, we set out to create something unforgettable. The NV1 blends the best of our technology with decades of expertise in aerospace engineering and autonomy—an experience designed to inspire and redefine what’s possible. This is the NV1 Founders Edition: built to show the world what the future of boating looks like, and to lay the foundation for an AI-native platform powering the future of fast, efficient, and autonomous marine transportation.
