How This Entrepreneur Built A Mobile EV Charging Business From His Dorm Room | Joshua Aviv
CEO, SparkCharge
Age: 32 | Location: Somerville, MA
From his dorm room at Syracuse University, Aviv founded SparkCharge, a mobile electric vehicle charger designed to eliminate “range anxiety” —or the fear EV drivers have about getting stranded because the country isn't fully prepared to charge electric cars. SparkCharge raised $59 million from investors since 2017, according to PitchBook. Additionally, in 2020, it received a $1 million investment from billionaire Mark Cuban after appearing on Shark Tank.
