Invest in Pelagion: Redefining Watersport Innovation

Future Investors,

I’m Jamie Schlinkmann, the founder of Pelagion, and I’m driven by an unwavering vision that has burned in me since childhood—to boldly revolutionize the watersports industry through electrified innovation. I believe you see the same potential I do, and I’m inviting you to invest in Pelagion through our WeFunder campaign.

The inspiration for Pelagion comes from my 1973 Kawasaki Jet Ski, which gave me countless hours of fun on the water as a kid. I can still feel the rush of gliding across the waves, the wind in my hair, and the pure joy of freedom. That experience sparked a dream: electrifying that thrill, making it more sustainable, accessible, and exhilarating for a new generation. That’s the heart of Pelagion, and it’s what drives us daily.

Our flagship product, the HydroBlade, marks the bold first step in this electrified revolution—a sleek, electrically-powered personal watercraft that’s already making waves by turning heads at the Consumer Electronics Show and the Palm Beach International Boat Show. But this is just the beginning. We have a pipeline of innovative products, from advanced electric propulsion systems to modular designs for all skill levels and interests. The global watersports market is projected to reach $15.2 billion by 2027, and Pelagion is poised to lead with sustainable innovation.

What makes me most proud isn’t just our products—it’s the team bringing this vision to life. I’ve assembled a group of industry veterans and passionate innovators who share my dream. Together, we’ve already made a profound global impact by enhancing the lives and health of millions worldwide through Automatic Manufacturing Systems’ other brand, AccuPlace, which boasts a 25-year track record of success in delivering innovative, precision-driven solutions for medical and industrial applications. Now, with the same relentless drive and innovative spirit that defines our legacy, we’re channeling our expertise into Pelagion to redefine the future of watersports with electrified excellence. Pelagion has achieved significant milestones: $500K in pre-orders, millions of social media views, and a growing community of enthusiasts who believe in our mission.  

I started Pelagion to electrify the joy I felt on that Jet Ski, and now we’re at a pivotal moment. Your investment will help us scale production, expand our product line, and bring the HydroBlade to waters worldwide. Investing in Pelagion means joining a movement to redefine watersports. Join our email list to stay connected, and if you’re ready, invest in Pelagion on WeFunder. Let’s make waves together.

With gratitude,

Jamie Schlinkmann
