  • Speedbird Aero

    Participated · Series A · Feb 2026

    Speedbird Aero is a Brazilian startup focused on unmanned aerial logistics, designing and manufacturing its own fleet of 35 delivery drones that can transport food, lab samples, and other small payloads. The company has been working with food-delivery giant iFood since 2019 and has already completed more than 2,000 commercial drone deliveries on its Campinas and Aracaju pilot routes, with plans to launch service in the São Paulo metro area. Beyond Brazil, Speedbird’s aircraft are operating in Israel, Portugal, Italy, and the United Kingdom, and the team is preparing to enter the United States. To support this expansion, the firm is relocating its headquarters to São José dos Campos, close to strategic partner Embraer, whose venture fund MSW joined the cap table in an earlier round. Former Eve Air Mobility CEO André Stein will lead the startup’s new international phase. Financially, Speedbird raised R$35 million in a 2022 Series A and has now secured a US$5.8 million bridge round while planning a Series B for later in 2026. The fresh funds will be used to scale operations, secure additional regulatory certifications, and open new domestic and international routes.
