Starship Technologies
"The future of delivery — today."
Autonomous sidewalk delivery robot company with 2,700+ robots and over 9 million deliveries completed.
Starship Technologies is a pioneer in autonomous last-mile delivery, operating a commercial fleet of electrically powered robots that travel on sidewalks to deliver food, groceries, and parcels directly to consumers. The company was founded in 2014 in Tallinn, Estonia, by Ahti Heinla and Janus Friis, and today maintains its headquarters in San Francisco, California, with engineering operations in Tallinn and Helsinki. Starship's delivery robots are compact six-wheeled vehicles weighing approximately 25 kg unloaded, capable of carrying payloads of up to 9.1 kg across a daily range of around 40 km on a single charge.
Each robot is equipped with a comprehensive sensor suite including ten stereo and time-of-flight cameras, GPS, ultrasonic sensors, radar, and an inertial measurement unit, enabling fully autonomous navigation on pedestrian pathways. A remote human supervisor can monitor and intervene when necessary. The robots maintain insulated interiors for temperature-sensitive cargo including hot food and frozen items, with average delivery times of approximately 20 minutes store-to-door in urban deployments.
Starship operates in the United Kingdom, United States, Estonia, Germany, and Finland, and as of late 2025 had completed more than nine million deliveries—five times more than all US competitors combined. The company raised $50 million in October 2025 to scale its fleet toward a target of 12,000 robots by 2027. Total equity funding stands at approximately $230 million.
Starship's commercial model is built around partnerships with universities, food service operators, and grocery retailers.
