This Week in Startups · The Drone Company Quietly Taking Over Delivery · 27 May 2026 podcast

Uh you guys are doing enormous volumes across diff two different continents. voice-verified

So first of all, how did I become so far behind on mana and its drone delivery success? voice-verified

I'm I'm I I'm almost embarrassed. voice-verified

Yeah, we're gonna dive into economics in a second, but I want to talk about how the business is structured in terms of how it operates kind of on the ground and in the sky. voice-verified

One thing that Mana does uh talk a lot about is the speed of its deliveries. voice-verified

You guys talk about deliveries being as quick as three minutes, which is insane and awesome. voice-verified

Uh, but I'm curious about how that works. voice-verified

So, how do you guys have um the drones kind of provisioned inside of a city or community that you operate in? voice-verified

Currently, and it is this a higher cap X requirement to have the ability to reach people so quickly? voice-verified

Cause I would presume you would need. voice-verified

More drone depots in more places than kind of one centralized hub. voice-verified

So sticking to the food case here, because I think that's what everyone kind of immediately thinks about when they consider drone deliveries. voice-verified

Um, talk to me about the linkage between customer orders, delivery platforms, and how that plugs into to mana, because I can see this working economically several different ways. voice-verified

So I'm curious about how you get that information early and then also how that it kind of interfaces in a business sense with those providers. voice-verified

And that would be in markets where Mena is ex Where we are. voice-verified

Yeah, yeah. voice-verified

Exactly. voice-verified

If they hit voice-verified

You know, I have spent a reasonable amount of time in Europe, uh, but I am most certainly an American. voice-verified

And when I think about the suburban American world, I'm thinking about lawns that are relatively large, kind of flat spaces where you could land things. voice-verified
