Zipline started as a company delivering lifesaving medical supplies by autonomous drone in sub-Saharan Africa. Today, the team at Zipline are working towards a logistics system for the entire world. One that works so fast, it seems like teleportation.Founded in 2014, Zipline’s first contract was with the government of Rwanda to deliver blood to its hospitals. Since then it’s expanded to Ghana, Japan, Nigeria, and the US, and moved beyond medical supplies to everyday shopping and groceries. While they’ve received attention for their innovative, clean-energy drones, it’s also their software infrastructure, organisational competency, and inspiring vision that has enabled their extraordinary growth.In this conversation, founder Keller Rinaudo Cliffton tells Scottish Mortgage Manager Tom Slater about the benefits of working in Africa; how a mission can give a company its competitive edge; and his vision for the future of Zipline. Invest in Progress is a Listen production for Scottish Mortgage.
