ABOUT US

OUR ETHOS

We're a team made up of engineers, designers, ex-founders, and more. We assembled from around the world with the common goal of creating amazing products that will enable people to explore more without harming the planet. We believe the world would be a better place if people had the freedom and self-reliance to live, work, and explore anywhere, sustainably integrated within nature. That's why we're leading the electric revolution of recreational vehicles to allow people to get closer to nature without harming it.

THE ORIGIN STORY

After forming the company in 2022, we were invited to work out of the Newlab manufacturing co-working space at Michigan Central, which is sponsored by Ford. We were so excited to build that we couldn't even wait for building construction to complete. So by our own volition, for a few weeks, we worked out of a parking lot in the Michigan cold. After scoring some sympathy points, we were able to move to a heated tent, where we worked for a few more weeks until we were finally able to move into the beautiful finished Newlab building. If that's not dedication, we don't know what is.

AS IT STANDS

Grounded's 50,000 sq ft manufacturing facility in Detroit, with electric vans on the production floor
Our 50,000 sq ft manufacturing facility in Detroit, opened 2026.

We have now expanded into our own 50,000 sq ft dedicated manufacturing facility in Detroit — a 1,900% increase in production capacity. In August 2026 we closed a $5M seed round to scale commercial fleet production (read the TechCrunch coverage). Our team has rapidly grown to have a double-digit headcount, allowing us to shape the future even quicker. We have camper vans and work vans on the road across the country, with many more being built very soon.

We think Detroit is having a resurgence. It is the place to be for mobility-defining companies, and we are proud to be a part of this wave. The future is bright.

WE CAN SHAPE THE
FUTURE TOGETHER
