Olympian rejects today's mundane and over-standardized car experience. We challenge the 40-year status-quo in automotive design, and bring aesthetic, simplicity and color back to the cars. We are manufacturing electric vehicles with our innovative 'modular' vehicle & drivetrain architecture (MVDS), providing Olympian with strong cost and lead-time advantages compared to legacy automakers like Tesla and Ford. Olympian is disrupting 120+ years old automotive industry and targeting to capture 7% market share in the U.S. automotive market by 2030.

Built on 4-core-hardware and 2-core software modules, Olympus eMVDS platform unlocks 80% reduction in tooling & machinery costs and built ~60% faster production lead time.

Is this you?
If you're behind Olympian Motors: acceptance into a YC batch is one of the few weeks a young company gets looked up by people who matter — investors, other founders, press. FoxPlug turns the commits, deploys, and releases you're already making into that story automatically, so anyone who looks finds something current. FoxChat puts a guide on your own site so the people YC's own page just sent you don't read one line and leave.
