Some of its notable clients include food delivery service iFood and other companies including Natura, Claro, and Grupo Pardini which have already benefited from their innovative solutions.

In terms of impact, Speedbird Aero boasts an impressive track record. The company claims it has transported a substantial 10,000 kg of cargo through the air to approximately 3 million people and has established partnerships with over 10 major companies globally.

Operating across continents, Speedbird Aero is now gearing up to expand its operations into the United States, with ambitions to achieve a global reach by 2030.

The recent funding injection will fuel the ongoing development of their delivery drones and the expansion of their operations. To date, Speedbird Aero has successfully secured a total of $8.8 million in funding across four rounds, according to data from Crunchbase.
