About Tyler Temple

Founder & CEO, Pollentia Inc.

Tyler Temple is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Pollentia Inc., a high-impact electric boat manufacturing company focused on building high-performance smart electric vessels for the recreational, commercial, industrial, and defense sectors. A U.S. Navy veteran, systems engineer, and software developer, Tyler has spent the last several years turning an idea born at sea into a full-fledged clean-tech venture now leading the charge in marine electrification.

He founded Pollentia in 2021 at the age of 19, driven by a moment of clarity while looking out over the water during a calm day aboard the USS Ronald Reagan. After returning from operations in the nuclear control room, he asked himself a simple question: “Why hasn’t this industry evolved?” That question became a mission.

Leadership Philosophy

Tyler leads with people in mind — always. Whether it’s his engineering team, strategic partners, or early customers, his first priority is listening and creating something valuable together. He’s built Pollentia around a culture of integrity, collaboration, and relentless curiosity.

He doesn't view himself as just the CEO — but as the other person in the room who’s there to understand your concerns, your goals, and your vision. Every decision, from technology to partnerships, is filtered through the lens of serving the team and community first.

“At the end of the day, we’re just people who want to change the world. I want the next generation to be born into something better than what we were handed — and I’ll give everything I have to help build that future.” — Tyler Temple
