WATCH VIDEO NOW Jetson One Swedish eVTOL Company Seeks Investment
Swedish eVTOL company Jetson AB is seeking investors after selling 100 Jetson One units in just two months and receiving 3,000 purchase requests.
Jetson One is a category leader with 100 sold units and another 3,000 preorders with shipments starting in 2023. The price is $92,000 with a $22,000 deposit.
GoodTrust CEO and ex-Google veteran, Rikard Steiber, joined as senior advisor and first external investor to support the founders with expansion.
The Swedish eVTOL company Jetson AB (
JetsonAero.com) has sold out its entire 2022 production. Since the official launch on Oct. 21, 2021, another 100 units have been sold for 2023 delivery, with over 3,000 preorders during the same time period. The Jetson One official launch video made waves on the internet reaching over 14 million views.
Jetson confirmed it will be recruiting significantly in 2022, and will do its first round of external fundraising.
“It is important for us to find the right investors now as we expand and grow our company. Jetson is looking globally for a company that shares our vision. We are at the forefront of a new industry. The skillset needed to lead in this industry is incredibly niche, as is the mindset and energy to be in a company that wants to shape the future,” said Tomasz Patan, cofounder and CTO.
Jetson is currently the only eVTOL company on the market that can provide a commercially available personal electric vehicle. The demand for the Jetson One has been phenomenal, supporting the company’s dream to “make everyone a pilot.”

Steiber will support Jetson in raising capital as the first round of external fundraising begins.
Steiber is also a pioneering angel investor in companies such as DRL (Drone Racing League) and Einride Autonomous Electric Trucks.
“It’s great to see Jetson, a Swedish company, beat the international competition to market with the first commercially available flying car,” said Steiber. “With Jetson One the dream of flying now becomes a reality. Everyone can now become a pilot!”
The Jetson One is constructed of a lightweight aluminium space frame and carbon-kevlar composite body. It is powered by eight electric motors and has a flight time of 20 minutes, reaching a top speed of 102 kilometres per hour (63 miles per hour). It runs on a high-discharge, lithium-ion battery and can carry a pilot’s weight of 210 pounds.
“We are incredibly happy to have Swedish tech icon Rikard Steiber on board our project. We have a big challenge ahead of us to finalize a production-ready Jetson One, and to prepare it for mass production in 2023. This is an incredibly exciting time for us but also for the eVTOL industry, ” said Peter Ternstrom, co-founder and president.
The first exclusive buyers can expect to receive their Jetson One in the autumn of 2022.
