About
Clippership is a maritime robotics company building autonomous, wind-powered cargo vessels designed to move palletized freight across oceans efficiently and sustainably. Founded by brothers Nico and Luca Cymbalist and Kai Matsuka in a Los Angeles garage, the company's compact 24-meter vessels operate on optimized point-to-point routes between smaller ports, reducing carbon emissions while cutting costs compared to traditional container shipping. Clippership raised $4.6 million in seed funding in 2025 and has contracted KM Yachtbuilders to construct its first zero-emission autonomous vessel, targeting launch in 2026.
