Starship Technologies is a global robotics company dedicated to revolutionizing last-mile delivery with autonomous sidewalk robots. Founded in 2014 by Skype co-founders Ahti Heinla and Janus Friis, the company’s mission is to make hyper-local delivery more efficient, affordable, and environmentally friendly.

Starship’s compact, six-wheeled delivery robots are built to carry groceries, hot food, packages, and industrial supplies. Operating at pedestrian speeds, they navigate sidewalks, cross streets, and climb curbs using a sophisticated suite of sensors, cameras, radar, GPS, and machine learning—and can be autonomously monitored or manually controlled if needed.

Over millions of autonomous deliveries, Starship has proven its technology in diverse settings—including university campuses, grocery retailers, residential neighborhoods, and industrial sites. Their robots contribute to reduced traffic, fewer carbon emissions, and more convenient delivery options.

Headquartered in San Francisco, Starship maintains engineering and R&D operations in Tallinn (Estonia) and Helsinki (Finland), as well as regional offices in the UK.

Starship continues to expand its Delivery-as-a-Service model, partnering with retailers, restaurants, and campuses to automate on-demand delivery while enhancing safety, sustainability, and operational efficiency.
