Manna

Manna designs and builds its own electric delivery aircraft (Manna 2), along with the flight software, ground systems and tether mechanism. It operates an air delivery service in which an order is picked up at a local store, flown to the customer's address and lowered into the yard on a tether, without the aircraft landing.

Customers order through Uber Eats, DoorDash, Deliveroo, Just Eat, Wolt or the Manna app. The company's website describes its business as delivering orders from local stores, and it lists partnerships with Wolt, Boojum, Uber Eats, Just Eat and Deliveroo; it also invites local businesses to partner with it. The website does not disclose revenue or pricing details.

Manna was founded in Dublin, Ireland; its timeline gives 2018 and the founder's letter says 2019. Its website lists operations in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which it describes as its US manufacturing and operations hub, and says Dallas and Dubai are upcoming. The company reports $110M raised to date and is hiring for engineering, hardware, operations, permitting and commercial roles in Dublin, Tulsa and Dallas.
