You've heard of @zipline, but you probably don’t know how close they are to delivering in your neighborhood.

On episode 73 of S3: see how the drone company that started by delivering blood in Rwanda is reinventing how anything gets delivered, almost instantly.

don't head out into that storm, we've got this

Two years ago I would’ve been shocked to think that Zipline needed to buy physical compute. But used compute deployed on-prem is so much cheaper today it's a no-brainer decision that's saving us millions of dollars per year. So much for the cloud economy🤷‍♂️

@StateDept @Keller @zipline Exciting news!!

[Department of State @StateDept]

The U.S. Department of State and @Zipline are realizing the America First Global Health Strategy by investing in American-made robotics to advance sustainable and resilient health systems. We are delivering foreign assistance in line with our national interests that is more effective, efficient, and costs the taxpayer less. https://t.co/oO5pPC3yzz

[Zipline @zipline]

1.8 million commercial deliveries. Tens of thousands of saved lives. Time to hyperscale in Africa, thanks to @StateDept

Zipline Delivers - — - — - — - Order #1,779,877
At 4:45 PM on October 30, Nyagatare District Hospital faced a crisis. A mother in labor suffered a placental abruption, causing severe bleeding. Both of her twins were born prematurely and in distress. Three lives were in danger and the hospital's blood supply was low.

[John Collison @collision]

Zipline is operating at a way larger scale than I had realised: more than 1.6 million commercial deliveries to date. @Keller had a Cheeky Pint and described going from just-in-time blood deliveries in Rwanda to burritos for Chipotle, the lost art of American airplane development, and their path to building 50k drones a year in California.

Y’all aren’t prepared for how quickly Zipline’s about to takeover Dallas-Fort Worth, like Waymo did to SF
