Zipline was founded to create the first logistics system that serves all humans equally. We design, manufacture and operate the world’s largest instant logistics and delivery system that is used by businesses, governments and consumers. Zipline is transforming the way goods move, from powering Rwanda’s national blood delivery network and Ghana’s COVID-19 vaccine distribution, to providing on-demand home delivery for e-commerce, to enabling healthcare providers to bring care directly to U.S. homes. The technology is complex, and includes autonomous, electric drones, but the idea is simple: a teleportation service that delivers what you need, when you need it. By transitioning to clean, electric, instant logistics, we can decarbonize delivery, decrease road congestion, and reduce fossil fuel consumption and air pollution, while providing equitable access for billions of people. Zipline operates on three continents (North America, Africa and Asia) and in seven countries - Rwanda, Ghana, the U.S., Nigeria, Japan, Kenya and Côte D’Ivoire. Zipline has made more than 540,000 deliveries to real customers, and currently completes one every 90 seconds. Zipline has flown 40 million autonomous commercial miles, delivered almost 5 million products (including more than 8 million vaccine doses). Zipline has two delivery platforms - a long-range system, Platform 1, and its next-generation home delivery system, Platform 2. Our drones are what people see, but they are only a small percentage of what we do. Behind each delivery is a complex network of airspace deconfliction tools, inventory management, fulfillment software, warehousing, performance management, cold chain storage, and more. Zipline’s instant logistics system is a trusted partner for businesses, governments and consumers, and currently supports the medical, health and retail sectors, delivering blood, vaccines, COVID supplies, prescriptions, e-commerce items, products that support human and animal health, and food.

Kodiak was founded in 2018 to redefine long-haul trucking using safe and reliable autonomous technology. Between growing e-commerce and a strong economy, demand for trucking is on the rise. The trucking industry faces major problems: a shortage of drivers, difficult working conditions, and extremely high turnover. According to the American Trucking Association, the industry faced a shortage of 51,000 commercial truck drivers at the end of 2017. Long-haul trucking is primed for autonomous technology. Highway driving is more structured and predictable than urban driving. This means there are fewer decisions for drivers to make and a better fit for autonomous vehicles. We believe that autonomous trucks will play a major role in filling the gap while improving safety, enhancing truck driver quality of life, increasing efficiency, reducing congestion and emissions and creating jobs across the economy.

We know how annoying it is when your things drag you down. *Lightbulb Moment* A few years ago, I was getting drinks with co-workers after work on a Friday. A friend said he’d join but had to go all the way out of the way to drop his work bag at home. I thought―"what a waste of time; there's got to be a better way.” *Problem* People spend so much time planning their days (and their lives) around the things that they own. The status quo when you land in a new city is to go straight to the airport just to drop your stuff off, even if it doesn’t make sense otherwise. *Solution* Tapping into local hotels and shops, we can open up storage space nearly everywhere in a city. Open the Bounce app and find a safe and secure place to leave your things (delivery back to where you’ll be later coming soon!). *Key Features*: 24/7 storage locations Secured and insured Easy pricing: $6 / day 24/7 customer support Get to know your local shops!
