Aboard Completes Pre-Series A Funding Bringing Total Raise to $13 Million for Next-Gen Travel Trailer

Aboard, a Southern California-based startup redefining modern mobile living, announced today it has closed its Pre-Series A financing round, bringing its total funding to $13 million. Led by Ondine Capital and Llama Ventures, the funding will support Aboard's next phase of growth, including completing product validation of its upcoming extended-range electric travel trailer as it undergoes refinements in preparation for mass production.

"Aboard was founded to bring automotive-grade design and engineering to the travel trailer category, so people can travel with the reliability, comfort, and confidence they expect from a modern vehicle without being limited by hookups or complicated RV systems," said Jiangtao Lyu, Founder of Aboard. "With our first travel trailer now in advanced prototype and validation, we're investing in production readiness and bringing Aboard into the outdoor communities where our customers already live, travel and gather."

Aboard's first product is an EREV travel trailer built like a vehicle. Engineered as one integrated system, it combines energy, mobility, and living into a single platform, delivering a quiet electric experience with built-in energy independence, vehicle-level towing and control, automated comfort systems, and automotive-grade manufacturing, like high-precision stamped body and door systems. Aboard's holistic approach creates a travel trailer designed for ease of use, upgrading the experience in a modern, yet familiar package.

Aboard will mark its formal public launch on May 29 at Outside Days in Denver, CO, a two-day outdoor industry conference and three-day festival, where the company will showcase its travel trailer and discuss product configurations, which start at $80,000. Attendees will be able to tour the travel trailer, meet the Aboard team, and learn more about the company's vision for modern mobile living.
