Windlift - Company Profile

Windlift is a wind energy engineering and computer software company that stands out with its Powerful, Agile, and Highly Mobile Airborne Power Generators which are comprised of Airborne Power Generators (APGs). These APGs utilize a tethered wing with onboard rotors to generate electricity from the wind, operating with only 5% of the materials compared to traditional turbines. This potentially positions them with the highest energy density (wh/kg) for any renewable energy system in windy environments. Founded in 2006 and headquartered in the United States, Windlift aims to tackle climate change by providing sustainable energy solutions. The company received a Seed Round investment on 01 October 2023 from K-Street Capital, paving the way for further advancements in renewable energy technology and offering potential as the world’s lowest-cost energy source.
