MightyFly

Seed Round in 2021
MightyFly is enabling worldwide access to goods with fast, on-demand delivery services for businesses and consumers. We’re putting the infrastructure in place to connect remote locations together with long range, heavy cargo aircraft. Many areas in the world today suffer from an inability to obtain critical and often urgently needed goods and supplies at an affordable cost. Our goal at MightyFly is to solve this problem through express, customized aerial drone delivery services. MightyFly drones will transport cargo to multiple locations in a single flight across hundreds of miles of remote terrain that is difficult if not impossible to cross with trucks or other ground vehicles. We are developing vertical-takeoff-and-landing (VTOL) drones that fly more than 300 miles, and carry payloads in excess of 50 pounds at a fraction of the cost of helicopters. Featuring automated cargo loading and unloading, and requiring no launch or recovery infrastructure, MightyFly drones will accommodate ad-hoc deliveries to undeveloped sites as well as servicing locations along established routes.
