Wright One

Founded in October 2023 by Justin McAfee, a mechanical engineer and commercial pilot, Wright One's core offering is the Wright Fan, available in 120 mm and 140 mm modular configurations. Each unit is built around a four-part architecture (impeller, motor, bearing, and housing) designed for field replacement in under one minute. A patented power-switch enables zero-downtime module swaps. Every fan carries a laser-etched QR code that links to a serialized performance history, logging uptime, failure events, and environmental data across its operational life.

The company's go-to-market structure is a product-as-a-service subscription: customers pay an initial hardware fee plus a fixed plan covering unlimited refurbishments, logistics, and prepaid return shipping. Wright One claims the model reduces total cost of ownership by approximately 50% over five years relative to commodity replacement hardware, and cuts lifecycle CO₂e emissions by roughly 85%, with 40% of that reduction attributable to circular reuse of modular components. Fan modules are rated for up to four refurbishment cycles before end-of-life recycling at the Cedar Park facility.

Wright One operates a web application that monitors fan performance, failure rates, and refurbishment activity in real time across customer sites in data centers and crypto mining facilities. The company's live dashboard has recorded 171 fans deployed, one failed unit, and a field failure rate of 0.03 per 10,000 operating hours. Failures are categorized by component type (motor, impeller, bearing, electronics) and by operating environment, feeding data into successive design iterations.

In June 2025, Wright One announced Bridgeport, Connecticut as its primary U.S. manufacturing hub for fan assembly, testing, and component refurbishment, with first commercial unit deliveries targeted for Q3 2025. Multiple take-or-pay agreements were disclosed at the announcement, though customer names were not released. In October 2025, the company announced relocation of its headquarters to Cedar Park, Texas, representing an investment of more than $15 million and a projected 164 new jobs tied to commercialization of its cooling products.

A second product line, WrightFlow, an expandable multi-stage exhaust system, is in a pilot phase targeting self-storage facilities, with a commercial rollout scheduled for Q2 2026. The company's stated roadmap extends the modular turbine platform into drone propulsion and eVTOL applications, with Cedar Park serving as the anchor facility for U.S. manufacturing and R&D.
