Ireland-based drone logistics startup Manna Air Delivery has raised $50 million in a Series B funding round, aimed at scaling its autonomous delivery operations across the United States and Europe. The round was led by ARK Invest, alongside Schooner Capital and the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund (ISIF), with participation from existing investors including Coca-Cola HBC, Molten Ventures, Enterprise Ireland, and Tapestry, bringing the company’s total funding to $110 million. Founded to revolutionize last-mile logistics, Manna operates one of the most active consumer drone delivery networks globally, having completed over 250,000 regulated commercial UAV flights across Ireland, Finland, and the United States. The company enables ultra-fast delivery of everyday items such as food, medical supplies, and retail goods, often within under three minutes. Manna’s platform integrates with major delivery partners including Uber, Deliveroo, Just Eat, and DoorDash, allowing customers to place orders via partner apps or directly through its platform. Its drone-based system significantly reduces road congestion and can lower CO₂ emissions by up to 85% compared to traditional delivery methods, positioning it as a sustainable alternative for last-mile logistics. With the newly raised capital, the company plans to expand its infrastructure with up to 40 new operational bases in the United States, while continuing to strengthen its presence in Europe. The funding will also support advancements in its proprietary drone technology and operational systems as it scales globally. Manna’s growth reflects the increasing adoption of autonomous delivery technologies, as companies explore faster, greener, and more cost-efficient logistics solutions in the evolving on-demand economy.
