Diddy & Will Smith On Board To Raise $30M For Futuristic Speedboats

Diddy’s Combs Enterprises, Will Smith’s Dreamers VC and Kevin Durant’s Thirty Five Ventures have joined forces for Arc’s “all-star team of new strategic investors.”

According to Yahoo, Diddy, Will Smith and Kevin Durant went on board up to raise $30 million investment for futuristic electric speedboats. Greg Reichow, the man behind Tesla’s early manufacturing, supply chain and automation efforts, has also hopped the board. He also invested a large lump of sum in the company.

The flagship speedboat Arc One is described as “a Tesla of the high seas”. It would cost over $300,000. The 24-foot vehicle features an electric powertrain and the ability to run between 3 to 5 hours on one charge. A recent statement made by Arc said:

“Along with being world class in their respective fields, these individuals bring a wealth of experience in building brands, marketing products and cultivating strong communities. Together, they’ll help Arc execute faster and amplify our impact.”
