Our goal at MightyFly is to solve this problem through express, customized aerial drone delivery services.

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. | $10M / Seed / Feb 12, 2026 | |
