ENVGO is a Waterloo marine technology company combining active hydrofoils, electric and hybrid propulsion and autonomy. Its portfolio now spans the NV1 recreational electric hydrofoil and XV2, a compact uncrewed surface vessel intended to travel quickly to an area of interest and then loiter with sensing payloads. The architecture brings flight-control and robotics experience from the founding team’s earlier work at Aeryon Labs into a marine operating environment. The strongest current defence evidence is a physical product in trials and private demonstrations, a Halifax unveiling and a new integration MOU. The public record does not establish that a navy or coast guard has bought or accepted an operational XV2 fleet.
Operating context
ENVGO is pursuing both complete vessels and a license-ready marine technology partnership model. XV2’s dual operating modes seek to separate rapid transit from persistent sensing, while the NV1 provides a commercial recreational platform for the underlying hydrofoil controls. Product figures are indicative and configurations can be adapted to missions. The October MOU creates a concrete integration workstream, but field interfaces, payload power and data arrangements, accepted sea-state limits and customer assurance remain configuration-specific decisions.
Canadian footprint
ENVGO identifies Waterloo, Ontario as its base; its terms name ENVGO Inc. and the Canadian trademark record identifies enVgo Inc. as applicant with an Ontario address. The company reports unveiling XV2 at COVE Demo Day in Halifax and signing its Open Ocean Robotics MOU at DEFSEC Atlantic. Those are specific Atlantic ecosystem activities, rather than evidence of an Atlantic headquarters, permanent office or customer deployment. Its company-owned public profile, linked by the official website, explicitly labels Waterloo, Ontario as headquarters; this is company-reported evidence rather than corporate-registry certification.
Waterloo, Ontario is the published city-level context for ENVGO. It does not imply a street address or exact facility location.
ENVGO combines fast hydrofoil transit with an uncrewed sensing platform and has named an actual integration partner and command-and-control environment. Its Halifax demonstration and DEFSEC MOU provide concrete ecosystem activity. The decision is whether a specified XV2 payload and XplorerView interface can complete an agreed demonstration; the MOU itself does not answer that. Request one configuration-specific performance and integration acceptance package.
Interpretation of the public record. Not qualification, endorsement or evidence of buyer interest.
NV1 is ENVGO’s 25-foot recreational electric hydrofoil. The current specification table lists an 8.5-foot beam, 32-inch draft with foils retracted and 60 inches deployed, a maximum speed of 80 km/h, 40 km/h cruise and 100 km range at cruise. It provides a commercial application of the company’s flight-control and propulsion architecture. Recreational specifications and demonstrations do not automatically establish XV2 defence performance, range with ISR payloads or qualification for military service.
Evidence of maturity
Public prototype demonstrations and early-adopter market entry; no numeric TRL inferred.
Commercial availability
Official demo-request and early-adopter channels; delivery terms require confirmation with the company.
Core features
Manufacturer dimensions: 25 ft length, 8.5 ft beam.
Manufacturer draft: 32 in with foils retracted; 60 in deployed.
Manufacturer figures: 80 km/h maximum, 40 km/h cruise and 100 km range at cruise.

Demonstration of the marine hydrofoil and controls platform
XV2 is ENVGO’s 2.0-metre uncrewed surface vessel for rapid transit followed by persistent sensing. The company’s indicative figures list 15-knot foilborne cruise, sprint above 25 knots, a 25–40 nautical mile cruise range, 150 lb maximum takeoff weight and a 50 lb payload envelope. Battery-electric propulsion is standard in the published configuration; a hybrid range extender is presented as an option for up to 120 nautical miles. The platform is intended for patrol, ISR and port security with integrated sensor payloads. These figures need a mission-specific configuration and acceptance basis; the public MOU is a plan for interoperable demonstrations rather than proof of an operational combined fleet.
Evidence of maturity
Company-reported in-water trials and private demonstrations. XV2 was unveiled at COVE Demo Day in June 2026; no configuration-specific numeric TRL assigned.
Commercial availability
Available for private demonstrations to Canadian defence and security customers, according to the October 2026 announcement.
Core features
Indicative length 2.0 m; maximum takeoff weight 150 lb; payload envelope 50 lb.
Indicative 15 kn foilborne cruise and above-25 kn sprint.
Indicative battery-electric transit range 25–40 NM at cruise; optional hybrid extender advertised up to 120 NM.
Public record
Recent activity
Oct 7, 2026
On October 7, 2026, ENVGO announced an MOU at DEFSEC Atlantic with Open Ocean Robotics. The companies plan to combine ENVGO’s fast hydrofoiling USVs and Open Ocean Robotics’ persistent solar-powered vessels through the XplorerView command-and-control environment. Integration milestones, interfaces and demonstration objectives are to be jointly defined.

Financing and disclosed activity
ENVGO announced the first close of a USD 2 million seed round in June 2025 led by Two Small Fish Ventures, with follow-on investment from Garage Capital and other investors. The lead investor independently confirms its participation. The announcement says the capital supports NV1 market entry and a license-ready industry partnership program; it is not company revenue or proof that the full vessel production program is funded.

Questions for a first conversation
01
Which payload, speed, endurance and sea-state combinations have been demonstrated on the same XV2 configuration?
The specification page gives indicative transit and payload figures and advertises a high sea-state envelope. A single configuration-specific test record would distinguish simultaneous mission capability from separate design limits.
02
Which XplorerView command, mission and sensor-data interfaces will the MOU demonstration implement, and what constitutes successful integration?
The signed MOU identifies a common command-and-control environment while leaving milestones and interfaces to joint definition. The next useful evidence is a bounded demonstration and data/control responsibility agreement.
