Dare to Dream: CEO Spotlight
“You see things and ask why, but I dream of things that never were and ask why not. - George Bernard Shaw.”
Eyan Emanuel (23) from North Philadelphia, Pa, built E-ppliance LLC on this vision. His company now sits on the doorstep of a ten-figure deal with major automotive conglomerates.
"E-ppliance is more than a company; it's a movement that is committed to revolutionizing the drive (Emanuel, 2024).”
Currently structured in a hybrid setting, with roots established in Philadelphia, Emanuel’s company has plans to further establish themselves in their hometown of Philly and later expand to the Ann Arbor and Detroit areas of Michigan. Furthermore, E-ppliance is establishing themselves within the world of academia, with connections at the University of Pennsylvania, University of Michigan, and the University of Southern California.
Emanuel came up with the company idea when he was just five-years old. Two years later, after watching the Bee Movie, his ambition was fueled. The 2007 film was a Hollywood success and a great film for all ages to watch. However, aside from the satirical cover thrown over the plot by the creators, Emanuel realized that the theme of the movie revolves around the cog in the machine concept orchestrated by Charlie Chaplin almost a century before. Emanuel recognized this and knew from that point forward that he did not want to be an “average joe,” and thus, his strive for more began. He wrote a letter to himself that day about how he wanted to achieve great things in life and wanted to own a company.
Throughout his childhood, Eyan was diligent with his studies and extracurriculars. In high school, Eyan attended school from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., then went to lacrosse practice until 7 p.m., only to then attend an engineering and racing school until 11 p.m. His lifelong ambition to achieve in life was cemented from this routine.
Fast forward to early 2023 and Eyan’s mother shows him this letter, unaware that Eyan had already been constructing a company centered around his newfound passion for cars. His ambition to become a CEO of his own company rose even more, and he now sits on the edge of major deals with automotive industry giants who are infatuated with his company idea.
For patenting and Non-Disclosure Agreements, the discussion of potential company products and deals are prohibited. However, Eyan says that “E-ppliance is built on the idea and dream of revolutionizing the mobility and automotive industry as a whole. You’re investing in the future and the idea of what can be.”
Statement from the CEO:
“At E-ppliance, we don't just build vehicles; we craft dreams that move the world forward. Our core value is rooted in the belief that, as dreamers, we have the power to reshape any landscape. We stand as a testament to the unwavering spirit that fuels innovation. We want to inspire everyone we touch, conveying the simple truth that dreams, when pursued relentlessly, can defy limits.
So remember: Dream big. Drive bigger.
With passion and purpose,
E-ppliance
