The team building
the future of delivery.
We're on a mission to make instant, zero-emission delivery the global standard. Meet the people, culture, and partners making it real.
Our story
Built for the world that can’t wait.
SpeedUp was born from a simple frustration: why does delivery still depend on roads? Founded in 2019, we set out to build the world’s most reliable autonomous drone delivery network.
Today, we operate in 12 countries, serve 300+ enterprise partners, and have completed over 4.2 million deliveries — with zero safety incidents. Our mission: make instant delivery the standard, not the exception.
4.2M+
deliveries and counting
Move fast, fly safe
Speed without shortcuts. We push boundaries while keeping safety non-negotiable.
People first
Every delivery is someone's critical need. We build for real human outcomes.
Relentless precision
±30cm landing accuracy isn't luck — it's obsessive engineering at every layer.
Sustainability native
100% electric, zero-emission. We don't offset carbon — we don't create it.
