Swoop Aero builds and operates medium-size electric VTOL UAVs designed for logistics use, capable of cruising up to ~100 miles with a 10-pound payload and quick modular reconfiguration. The company has operated in places like south Malawi and the DR Congo for the past three years, completing its 20,000th flight and delivering its millionth item. Its aircraft are designed for off-grid power (solar and similar) and use easily swappable parts so units can be converted between cargo, scientific, or rescue roles. Swoop’s go-to-market approach is to establish a ground presence and bring a suite of aircraft online to meet specific high-priority delivery needs, then expand fleets and customers once networks are operational. The business mixes operating its own networks with leasing aircraft to other operators (roughly an 80/20 split). Management plans expansion to additional markets, including the U.S., and intends to raise new capital to build out multiple networks. Swoop Aero is a drone-powered logistics company that focuses on last- and first-mile delivery. Founders Eric Peck and Joshua Tepper are leading efforts to transform how goods move by making access to the skies seamless. The company played a role delivering vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic when international air routes were closed. Main Sequence announced Swoop Aero had joined its portfolio following a successful $16M Series B round led by Main Sequence. The article's headline and post note the founders turned down a $100M takeover offer. Further coverage is linked via The Australian Financial Review in the announcement. Founded in 2017, Swoop Aero builds and operates two-way drone networks to transport medicines, pathology samples and other essential medical supplies. The company runs operations in five countries through partnerships with global health organizations including UNICEF, UKAid and DFID, and says it has impacted over two million people. During the COVID-19 pandemic it remotely piloted commercially used drones to deliver PPE and critical supplies to Malawi while piloting the aircraft from Australia. In Malawi Swoop Aero tripled its fleet after a 300% increase in samples carried between March and April. The company plans to scale from “millions to tens of millions” and aims to service 100 million people by 2025, while establishing a presence in Australia and New Zealand and expanding its medical logistics offering. It is also pursuing aviation system certification for urban operations and working with the Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand and CASA to achieve BVLOS approvals and reduce regulatory friction. Swoop Aero is a Melbourne-based drone logistics company founded in 2017 that deploys two-way drone networks to deliver vaccines, medical supplies, and time-sensitive samples to remote communities. The company completed a four-month commercial vaccine-delivery trial in Vanuatu that enabled approximately 500 children to be vaccinated across 80 islands. It has commenced vaccine transport flights in Équateur province, DRC, conducting 50 flights over five days covering over 2,000 km and delivering two months of vaccines and supplies to four health centers while returning with blood samples. Swoop emphasizes rapid point-to-point delivery (about 20 minutes per flight versus a typical six-hour round trip) to bridge last-mile gaps in healthcare. Its operations team includes former air force pilots, current commercial pilots, and leading engineers. The company plans to use new funding to prepare for production at scale and to enter markets in Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia in the second half of 2019 and beyond.

Releaf combines proprietary hardware and software — including the Kraken palm-nut de-sheller, the SALT sourcing and logistics application, and the Site geospatial mapping tool — to localize processing and connect smallholder farmers to FMCG manufacturers. The company is focused initially on Nigeria's oil palm industry, placing processing capacity closer to farms to increase quality and reduce logistics costs. Kraken delivers 27–30% higher extraction yields and enables production of palm oil with about 95% purity versus an industry standard of 88%. Since launching its first Kraken prototype in January 2021, Releaf has processed more than 10,000 tons of palm nuts, grown monthly revenue at an average rate of 25%, and secured over $75 million in bookings. Releaf works with leading FMCG manufacturers including Presco and PZ Cussons and provides farmers with training and support on sustainable land management via SALT. The company aims to scale operations and expand into other crops to support climate-adaptive supply chains across Africa. Releaf builds proprietary hardware and software to decentralize food processing for smallholder palm-oil farmers, including Kraken, a patent-pending nut-cracking machine. The company buys palm kernel nuts from farmers, uses Kraken to crack and crush kernels into vegetable oil, and sells finished oil to FMCG processors and local manufacturers in Nigeria’s South South region. Releaf’s software platform connects to over 2,000 smallholder farmers who have supplied more than 10 million kilograms of palm kernel nuts, and Kraken has processed roughly 500 tonnes of palm nuts to date. The startup says its oil yields a lower free fatty acid (FFA) level—about 3.5% versus an industry standard near 5%—which it expects to monetize over time to improve margins. Releaf plans geographic expansion across West Africa rather than broad crop diversification, though it may consider intercropping or adjacent oilseed crops like soybeans or groundnuts. The company will use the seed capital to develop and deploy technology to farmers, while grant funding will provide working capital financing; internal trials reportedly increased smallholder incomes three- to fivefold.
