The future of delivery has arrived

Zipline Delivers - — - — - — - Order #1,779,877 At 4:45 PM on October 30, Nyagatare District Hospital faced a crisis. A mother in labor suffered a placental abruption, causing severe bleeding. Both of her twins were born prematurely and in distress. Three lives were in danger and the hospital's blood supply was low.

From fries to critical medical supplies 🍟✈️💉 — @zipline is redefining how the world moves goods, one autonomous flight at a time. Tune in as Keenan Wyrobek shares how Zipline’s drones are saving lives, cutting emissions & creating new opportunities. sae.to/3Xdfy6r

Two dead remote controls and no triple A batteries in the house. No big deal. Get on the @zipline app and they are landing in my backyard ten minutes after purchasing. Zero delivery charges. I pay what I would have paid at Walmart. Game changer!

We can zip you full-sized candy bars, just sayin'...

In 2023, every 120 million miles driven in the U.S. meant 700+ crashes, 100+ injuries, and at least one fatality. This week, Zipline crossed 120 million miles flown with zero injuries, while saving thousands of lives per year in the process — all 100% autonomously.

We built an Ultra High Speed Launcher Full video coming soon

In 2014, @Keller Cliffton shut down his robotic toy startup to build a drone delivery network for life-saving medical supplies. Everyone said it wouldn’t work. Today, @Zipline delivers for hospitals around the world. Now it’s reinventing how delivery works with Platform 2 - starting with Walmart and Chipotle in the US. This is a story of betting everything to transform the world.

9 years ago we made our first ever delivery in Rwanda. Today we deliver to more than 800 hospitals and health facilities around the country, and 85% of them get deliveries from Zipline every week. Here's a glimpse into our operations

From now on, I only want my groceries delivered via drone

We're building the future of AI & robotics right here in South San Fransisco. If you have the grit, we have a job: zipline.com/careers

Time to scale

tired: we can deliver to your yard wired: we can deliver onto the previous delivery

We've come a long way since the Pony Express

10x faster. 1/2 the cost. No traffic. No tipping. @zipline is rethinking how physical infrastructure should work.

Zipline is operating at a way larger scale than I had realised: more than 1.6 million commercial deliveries to date. @Keller had a Cheeky Pint and described going from just-in-time blood deliveries in Rwanda to burritos for Chipotle, the lost art of American airplane development, and their path to building 50k drones a year in California.
