About Zipline

Zipline aims to develop and operate drones for the distribution of goods and medicine in the United States and developing countries. The company's goal is to become a last-mile logistics provider for the delivery of goods and medicine in areas where conventional transportation methods are either unavailable or inefficient. Zipline offers healthcare suppliers and merchants warehousing solutions for their inventories. Clients can place on-demand orders with Zipline's distribution centers, which will then deliver the requested items to customers via Zipline's electric drones.

Zipline was founded in 2011 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California. Notable investors include Sequoia, Andreessen Horowitz, and Baillie Gifford.
