Our Genesis

The gap we kept watching people fall into

ehydra started on a workshop floor, building hydrogen powertrains for commercial vehicles. The engineering was the part we knew how to do. What surprised us was everything after it — the grant paperwork, the pricing, the diligence questions we had never been asked before.

We watched the same thing happen to every team around us. Brilliant hardware, stalled at the point where it needed to become a business. Nobody was standing in that gap.

So we became the thing we needed. One team that can weld a fixture on Tuesday and sit in a term-sheet conversation on Wednesday, without either half getting lost in translation.

How we started
A prototype that can't be manufactured, priced, or funded is a very expensive hobby.

Compliance & IP

Your IP stays yours

NDA before the first drawing

We sign before you show us anything. Mutual by default, and we are happy to use your paper instead of ours.

Assignment on delivery

Everything we create for you — CAD, firmware, schematics, test data — is assigned to you on final payment. In writing.

Patent support, not patent capture

We help with prior-art searches and drafting technical claims. The filing goes in your name.

Investors & Partners

The network behind the bench

Building the hardware is half of it. These are the people who help our clients fund it, certify it, and sell it.
