We've raised $50 million to make air delivery the infrastructure of everyday life.

Today, we're announcing a $50 million Series B to scale autonomous aerial delivery across the United States and Europe, bringing Manna's total funding to $110 million.

Seven years of flying things to people's gardens

When we started Manna in 2019, most people thought air delivery was a gimmick. A demo flight for a press release, maybe a few drops in a field somewhere, then silence.

We took a different approach. We went to Moneygall, then Oranmore, then Balbriggan, then Dublin West, and we just kept delivering. Books. Coffees. Antigen tests during COVID. Gym clothes from Gym+Coffee. Breakfast packs from Gleeson Butchers. In one trial with Ireland's National Ambulance Service, we got a defibrillator to a cardiac arrest scene in 3 minutes and 42 seconds.

We then expanded to Finland and Texas. Over 250,000 regulated commercial flights later, orders arrive in under three minutes, CO2 emissions run 85% lower than road delivery, and our Net Promoter Score sits at 86, ahead of Apple's. In parts of Dublin West, 60% of households now order by air regularly.

What that looks like on the ground: families getting dinner without a car journey. Parents with young children getting a prescription without leaving the house. Elderly residents staying independent because they don't need someone to drive them to the shops. Streets with less traffic. Air that's cleaner. Neighbourhoods that are quieter and more accessible for everyone, not just the people who can afford convenience.

Air delivery isn't just faster. It's better for the communities it serves and better for the planet. Every flight we replace is a van that didn't drive, a road that didn't congest, and a tonne of CO2 that didn't get emitted.

We didn't raise this round on a pitch deck. We raised it on a quarter of a million completed deliveries.

Our Series B

We’re grateful for the support of our investors: ARK Invest, ISIF and Schooner Capital, alongside continued backing from Coca-Cola HBC, Molten Ventures and Enterprise Ireland.

"Manna has demonstrated that air delivery can operate safely, efficiently and at scale, and we believe it has the potential to fundamentally reshape last-mile logistics." — Orhan Gazelle, Schooner Capital

ARK's portfolio includes OpenAI, Anthropic, Tesla and SpaceX, companies that have already reshaped their industries. ISIF backs businesses that create lasting economic value in Ireland. Schooner focuses specifically on autonomous technology that works in the real world, not in a lab.

Scaling to 40 US & European bases

The funding accelerates our expansion to 40 operational bases across the United States and Europe, building on live operations already underway in Ireland and Texas.

We recently added Uber to our delivery platform partnerships, joining Deliveroo, Just Eat, and DoorDash. Customers order through whichever app they already use. The delivery arrives by air. For local businesses, such as cafes, pharmacies, bookshops, it means reaching customers across an entire neighbourhood without drivers, vehicles, or the economics that have made last-mile delivery a loss leader for decades.

We are the only air delivery company globally to demonstrate positive unit economics for residential last-mile delivery. That's the foundation everything else is built on.

400 new jobs in the US & Europe

We're growing from 170 people to over 570. Every one of those 400 new roles is based in the United States and Europe: robotics, software engineering, mechanical engineering, aviation operations, regulatory. We design, build, and operate everything from Dublin, Ireland. The full stack. Airframe to flight orchestration, all of it Irish-built.

We're competing with some of the largest companies in the world for this talent. And we're winning.

The team behind the numbers

What we've built at Manna isn't just a drone. It's a full orchestration layer that coordinates airspace, logistics, retail platforms, and local operations across three countries in real time.

That takes a team with unusual breadth: aviation engineers alongside roboticists, software developers alongside AI specialists, community engagement managers alongside regulatory experts and flight operations crews. Very few companies anywhere in the world have assembled that combination under one roof and everything, from airframe design and manufacturing through to flight orchestration software, is built in Dublin.

It's what's made us the clear European leader in autonomous aerial delivery. As we scale into the US, we intend to become the global one.

What this actually means

Funding rounds are abstract. What's concrete is what happens in the communities where we operate.

Working parents getting a prescription in three minutes without loading kids into the car. Elderly residents maintaining independence because they don't need someone to drive them to the shops. The 40% of Americans who live more than a mile from the nearest food store getting the same convenience that city centres take for granted.

In Dublin West, air delivery isn't a novelty anymore. It's how people get their stuff, how their streets stay quieter, how the air stays cleaner, how their neighbourhoods become more accessible for everyone. This funding means more communities in Ireland and across the US will have the same.

What's next

We've proven the technology and the economics. Now it's about scale.

I want to thank our team, who are genuinely obsessive about this mission; our customers and the communities who welcomed us from day one; and our investors, old and new, for backing what we’ve built and where we’re going.
