Building a team to power electric flight
In 2021, Evolito was spun out of YASA (the world-leading pioneer of automotive axial-flux electric motors), to exclusively commercialise YASA’s next-generation electric motor technology for the aerospace market.
Drawing on the experience of the team that led YASA from start-up to a successful sale to Mercedes Benz, Evolito was ready to accelerate its own scaleup journey from the outset.
With unique disruptive technology, committed investors, and a proven leadership team, Evolito is leading the electrification of the aerospace market from general aviation to manned and unmanned eVTOLs.
Upscale Partners came on board early in Evolito’s mission, with a remit to help build a world-class management team capable of propelling growth and achieving the company’s ambitions.
