About Rivian
Rivian is on a mission to keep the world adventurous forever. This goes for the emissions-free Electric Adventure Vehicles we build, and the curious, courageous souls we seek to attract.

Our backgrounds are diverse, but our team shares a love of the outdoors and a desire to protect it for future generations.
