Our Take

Vight is building VTOL aircraft—practical flying cars that could actually make point-to-point transportation faster than driving. That's the dream everyone's had since Back to the Future II, except these guys are trying to build it in real life.

Here's the thing about VTOL: everyone's trying. Joby, Archer, Lilium, Volocopter—they've raised billions combined and we're still not commuting by air. The technical challenges are absurd—battery density, safety certification, air traffic control, public acceptance. But the market opportunity is massive if they can crack it. Urban congestion costs billions annually and driving isn't getting faster.

Vight is early. Angel round, pre-seed. That's "we believe in this vision enough to write a check" money, not "we've proven the tech" money. No founder names, no flight tests, no prototypes shown yet. Just a website and a pitch: expand the radius of daily life.

That's either courage or hubris. Probably both. We'll see which one pays off.
