Zipline

About Zipline

Zipline is an American robotics company and the world’s largest autonomous delivery service. Zipline has flown more than 135 million autonomous miles, operates on multiple continents, and safely makes a delivery every 20 seconds somewhere in the world.

Zipline started in 2014 to build the first logistics system that serves all people equally. We did this because 5.5 million kids lose their lives each year due to a lack of access to basic medical products. Those deaths are entirely preventable. Our system gets blood and medicine from Point A to Point B when people need it – saving lives. Today, Zipline delivers to more than 5,000 hospitals and health centers and has become a key part of healthcare supply chains in Africa, helping save tens of thousands of lives and dramatically improve health outcomes.

It turns out that moving things quickly from Point A to Point B is a universal need. Each year in the U.S., more than 5 billion on-demand orders are delivered using vehicles that weigh thousands of pounds to transport items that weigh less than five. It’s slow, expensive, and bad for the environment. A better system helps busy families care for their kids, brings fast and reliable delivery to hard-to-serve areas, and helps older adults stay healthier with easier access to prescriptions and fresh groceries—without needing a car trip.
