Why we invested in Starship
by Taavet HinrikusIt’s great to work with repeat founders Ahti Heinla and Janus Friis again from our Skype days. With Starship, they’ve built the global leader in autonomous technology from Europe, and it’s a true pioneer of autonomous driving and one of the best examples of European grit, ambition and innovation.
Since 2014, the team have been working tirelessly to build the most advanced autonomous logistics technology in the world, driving more miles and making more deliveries than any other company, whilst reducing the impact of last-mile and on-demand delivery on the planet. They have perfected the technology, streamlined operations and remained committed to making autonomous delivery viable and sustainable at scale – and they’re just getting started! This is the European ambition we love to see.
