Irish drone delivery firm Manna has raised EUR 43.1 million (USD 50 million) in a new Series B funding round.
The investors are ARK Invest, the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund and Schooner Capital, alongside continued backing from Coca-Cola HBC, Molten Ventures and Enterprise Ireland.
ARK’s portfolio includes OpenAI, Anthropic, Tesla and SpaceX. ISIF backs businesses that create lasting economic value in Ireland. Schooner focuses specifically on autonomous technology that works in the real world.
“The funding accelerates our expansion to 40 operational bases across the United States and Europe, building on live operations already underway in Ireland and Texas,” Manna said today (April 1). “We recently added Uber to our delivery platform partnerships, joining Deliveroo, Just Eat and DoorDash”.
Manna plans to add around 400 new jobs, including in robotics, software engineering, aviation and regulatory functions at its Irish base and in the US.
