A year ago I had dinner with Bobby Healy, the CEO of Manna, and told him why Oklahoma should be home for their company. Well, welcome to Oklahoma! The future of flight has officially landed in our state.
This week’s launch of Manna’s first full-scale metropolitan U.S. drone delivery operation in Tulsa is another reminder that Oklahoma isn’t just keeping up with innovation; we’re leading it.
We’re proud to be America’s proving ground for the next generation of aerospace and advanced mobility.

The day we announced our Series A, a reporter in Portugal rang me up. "Hey, I'd love to ask you a few questions about your fundraising. The first one is: where have you been? No one heard about your company, and all of a sudden you raised all this money. How does this happen?"

It took me quite a while to explain that I had been building a business, that I'm not out there doing interviews on TV, and that you build businesses by working on them. It still didn't land. The next questions were more about: does this mean you're now rich? Does this mean you get a part of this money?

I found myself explaining business in terms a five-year-old would get. It felt like we were a hundred years in the past.

And I wasn't offended, honestly. For a long time, every time I spoke with someone about the company, they would be appalled, as if we were doing something illegal. A company this size, out of Portugal? It just didn't compute.

That conversation was several funding rounds ago, and these days @Remote runs payroll for companies all over the world. I've also gotten much better at explaining what we do: I can now do it in terms a four-year-old would get.

Great to see funding levels sustain in the region, still the majority of funding going to later stage companies so a gap for first time founders looking for their first 25k-50k. Work in progress to resolve this.
