Autonomous drone delivery startup Speedbird Aero has raised €3.5 million in a round led by Portugal’s Lince Capital, with backing from Explorer Investments, Cedrus Capital, AcNext Capital, and a follow-on from MSW Capital’s MultiCorp 2 fund — which includes heavyweights like Embraer and BB Seguros.
With operations in Brazil, Portugal, and the U.S., Speedbird plans to channel the funding into R&D, expanding its aerospace engineering team and pushing ahead with the next generation of unmanned aircraft systems. CEO Manoel Coelho says the goal is clear: to build smarter, stronger, scalable drones that meet the demands of modern logistics.
The startup is now focused on advancing AI-powered navigation, safety systems, and modular cargo solutions — particularly in VTOL and long-range delivery. Already a pioneer in Latin America with full regulatory approval, Speedbird is spreading its wings globally, aiming to reshape how goods move through both cities and remote areas.
