Building the future of flight

It’s happened. We’ve just closed our seed round of $8.65 million. Led by Lachy Groom, with participation from Leo Polovets at Humba Ventures & Hemant Mohapatra from Lightspeed India doubling down. This round has been more than a validation of our vision, it’s on the back of making it a reality. Airbound never began as a grand vision to make 1 cent deliveries a reality. It began as the story of an engineer who questioned everything. Why can’t this be better? Why does there need to be so much infrastructure? Why should deliveries be so inefficient? The nice thing about engineering is that there is an objectively right and an objectively wrong answer. The nice thing about physics is that there is an optimum. It physically hurts to know what optimal looks like and go for something suboptimal. Most engineers outgrow that feeling. The benefit of starting young is that once you get a taste for the optimum, you can’t go back. Airbound simply started as a quest to build the best drone possible. It was a project - a love letter to engineering. We’re now a team of 50. We’ve scaled production to one drone a day, flown 10,000+ km, and improved reliability by 35x. And this was only in the past 3 months. We’re so much more than a project now. We’ve built the best drone in the world. Now it's time for us to scale this impact and enable trillions of flights annually, and build a world where roads are optional. Excited to have some amazing angels Balaji, Abhay, Tarun Mehta, @mohith_dzn, Dhaval Shroff, Jared Rosner and so many more amazing supporters of this journey. The future is going to be in the sky!
