Pyxis Tankers: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)
We are an emerging pure-play owner of a modern fleet of product tankers engaged in the seaborne transportation of refined petroleum products and other bulk liquids. We are focused on growing our fleet of medium range product tankers, which provide operational flexibility and enhanced earnings potential due to their “eco” features or modifications. We are well positioned to opportunistically expand and maximize our fleet due to our strong customer relationships, competitive cost structure, and experienced management team and founder, whose interests are squarely aligned with other shareholders. Our common shares are listed on the NASDAQ Capital Markets under the trading symbol ‘PXS.’ Our fleet is comprised of six double hull product tankers with a weighted average age of 4.9 years (based on deadweight tonnage as of December 31, 2015) and that are employed under a mix of short- and medium-term time charters and spot charters. Four of the vessels in the fleet are medium-range, or MR, product tankers, three of which have eco-efficient or eco-modified designs, and two of which are short-range tanker sister ships. Each of the vessels in the fleet is capable of transporting refined petroleum products, such as naphtha, gasoline, jet fuel, kerosene, diesel and fuel oil, as well as other liquid bulk items, such as vegetable oils and organic chemicals.
Pyxis Tankers has raised $54.9M across 2 funding rounds on record, the most recent an undisclosed round of $9.9M announced in Dec 2025.
That round is above the $5.0M median round size for Transportation companies tracked on FundedIQ over the last two years.

About FundedIQ's Pyxis Tankers Funding Data
FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.
Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Pyxis Tankers is left off this page rather than filled in.
