Airbound's $37M bet: drones that weigh less than the cargo they carry
Airbound just banked a $37M Series A from Greenoaks, DoorDash, and Lachy Groom on a counterintuitive wager: flight is only cheap when your aircraft weighs less than the payload. Its 3.3-pound TRT drone already hauls 2.2 pounds of diagnostic samples for Narayana Health, cutting a multi-hour road trip to seven minutes. The fly-through goal is cost parity with trucking across an Andhra Pradesh metro network.
