C-Motive is a startup with facilities in Middleton, WI commercializing electric motors with sustainability and efficiency as top priorities. This technology was born out of UW-Madison and will be the first of its kind on the market.

Half of all electricity globally is consumed by electric motors. C-Motive’s patented electrostatic motor technology delivers 95%+ efficiency, uses no rare-earth metals, less than 1% the copper, and has the potential to deliver over a gigaton of carbon savings in the next decade. The global motor marketplace is $100B annually and C-Motive is poised to become a significant player in the coming few years. No one else in the world is developing electrostatic machines and our goal is to become the reference motor technology for a new generation of products.

The Opportunity:
