EDIT: Thanks everyone for your questions! We’ve got to get back to work (we complete a delivery every 90 seconds), but if you’re interested in joining Zipline check out our careers page - we’re hiring! Students, fall internship applications will open in a few weeks.
We are Zipline, the world’s largest instant logistics and delivery system. Four years ago we did an AMA after we hit 15,000 commercial deliveries – we’ve done 500,000+ since then including in Rwanda, Ghana, the U.S., Japan, Kenya, Côte d'Ivoire, and Nigeria.
Last week we announced our new home delivery platform, which is practically silent and is expected to deliver up to 7 times as fast as traditional automobile delivery. You might’ve seen it in Mark Rober’s video this weekend.
We’re Redditors ourselves and are excited to answer your questions!
Today we have:
- Ryan (u/zipline_ryan), helped start Zipline and leads our software team
- Zoltan (u/zipline_zoltan), started at Zipline 7 years ago and has led the P1 aircraft team and the P2 platform
- Abdoul (u/AbdoulSalam), our first Rwandan employee and current Harvard MBA candidate. Abdoul is in class right now and will answer once he’s free
We’ll start answering questions at 1pm PT - Thank you!
