Boom Technology is an American startup company designing a {{cvt|2.2|Mach|60,000|kn km/h|-2}} 55-passenger supersonic transport with a range of {{cvt|4,500|nmi|km}}, to be introduced in 2023, called Overture.

After being incubated by Y Combinator in 2016, it raised $51 million of venture capital in 2017, and a further $100 million by January 2019.

The Boom XB-1 Baby Boom one-third-scale demonstrator should be flight tested in 2019.[1][2]

History

The company was founded in Denver in 2014.[3]

It participated in a Y-Combinator startup incubation program in early 2016, and has been funded by Y Combinator, Sam Altman, Seraph Group, Eight Partners, and others.[4]

In March 2017, $33 million were invested by several venture funds: Continuity Fund, RRE Ventures, Palm Drive Ventures, 8VC and Caffeinated Capital.[5]

Boom secured $41 million of total financing by April 2017.[6]

In December 2017, Japan Airlines invested $10 million, raising the company capital to $51 million: enough to build the XB-1 “Baby Boom” demonstrator and complete its testing, and to start early design work on the 55-seat airliner.[5] In January 2019, Boom raised a further $100 million, bringing the total to $151 million.[7] With this new financing, the first test flight of the demonstrator aircraft was planned for later in 2019.[8]
