Nava

About the offering

Nava Technologies Inc. is an early-stage startup incorporated in October 2025 as a C-Corp, building an on-demand marine mobility marketplace headquartered in Miami, Florida. The company is developing a four-sided digital platform connecting boat owners, licensed captains, marinas, and riders to enable on-demand water transportation in high-density coastal cities. The core problem Nava addresses is the underutilization of marine assets: recreational boats are used an average of only 54 days per year, waterway transportation remains fragmented and largely offline, and no dominant on-demand marine mobility platform currently exists. Boat owners lack monetization infrastructure, captains lack consistent demand, marinas lack integrated digital booking, and consumers have no reliable app-based way to travel across water corridors. Nava's solution is a unified digital marketplace where boat owners list idle vessels for on-demand bookings with dynamic pricing and verified captain matching; captains receive structured dispatch, payment processing, and reputation tools; marinas integrate their docking infrastructure into optimized digital corridors; and riders book point-to-point water transport. The platform also envisions ancillary services including NavaEats (waterway food delivery) and NavaCourier (waterway package delivery). The primary planned revenue model is a 30% commission on completed rides or bookings. Additional revenue streams include premium owner subscriptions, marina partnership fees, surge/dynamic pricing margin, insurance and payment processing margin, enterprise hospitality and real estate partnerships, and rider subscription plans. Nava is targeting Miami and Miami Beach as its initial market, citing Florida's status as the #1 state for registered vessels and Miami's year-round boating weather and strong tourism demand. Planned expansion includes Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, San Diego, New York, and Mediterranean coastal cities. The company references a global recreational boating market exceeding $40B annually. As of the offering, Nava reports no revenue and is pre-launch. Early traction includes a waitlist of 400+ boat owners and 2,000+ riders in the Miami area, a multi-app technology build underway with a dedicated engineering team, and early press coverage from PRLog and Miami Beach Drive. The team is led by CEO and Founder Theo Arranz, described as a serial entrepreneur with 10+ years in maritime tech and marketplace platforms, alongside Lead Engineer Mike Lewis (10+ years in mobile and full-stack development) and Junior Engineer Krish Shah (Purdue graduate).
