Covers 100–400 mile distances, bypassing traffic and reducing delivery time from hours to minutes. - **Cold Chain Container**: Temperature-validated payload containers (compatible with UN3373 and OPTN standards) for whole blood, platelets, stem cells, organs, tissue, diagnostics, and pharmacy STAT orders. - **Dashboard & Dispatch Platform**: A dispatcher books a route via the Avol dashboard, seals the payload, and tracks telemetry live throughout the flight. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed - **Key Metric**: Total funding raised – $3.8M (Series A, January 2026) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Cultivation Capital, Draper Associates - **Growth Signals**: 4+ deliveries per day; active footprint across 8 states; recognized by TechCrunch (“Celebrating outstanding achievement”), Entrepreneur (“Most Fundable Companies 2025”), St. Louis Business Journal (“Startups to Watch 2026”), and Newlab (“On a mission”) ## Competitive Advantages - **Autonomous blended-wing aircraft** designed for efficiency and direct routing – traffic does not apply at altitude. - **Priced competitively** with road transport (no vehicle, no driver hours, no idling costs). - **Cold chain compliance** with medical standards (UN3373, OPTN) and full chain-of-custody tracking. - **Focus on the tightest ischemic clocks** in medicine (organs, stem cells) where every minute matters. ## Strategic Focus - Building the first dedicated drone corridors for medicine, anchored in St. Louis and Brooklyn. - Expanding active footprint across more states and hospital networks. - Scaling delivery volume while maintaining reliability and regulatory compliance. ## Why Work Here - **Small, mission-driven team** (12 employees) working on high-impact aerospace and healthcare logistics. - **Remote-friendly** with hybrid options in Brooklyn, NY (Newlab at Navy Yard) and St. Louis, MO (HQ). - **Cutting-edge technology**: autonomous flight, electric aircraft, real-time telemetry, cold chain engineering. - **Culture of speed and purpose** – every delivery directly impacts patient outcomes (transplants, trauma, cellular therapies). - **Recent awards** and strong investor backing signal growth trajectory and market validation. ## Sources 1.
