Starship Technologies

As you know, we’ve hit 10M deliveries this spring 🔥 This is an incredible milestone for the category of sidewalk robots delivery. We asked our Director of Autonomous Driving, Lindsay Roberts, to share his thoughts on achieving that milestone and how we really got here. This is what he said 👇 #RobotDelivery #AutonomousDelivery #SidewalkRobots

@CatGodSandHive We've got a bunch of under our sleeve - or should we say wheels 🤖🛞

@StarshipRobots What other surprise is coming next from those tireless bots to our daily lives? Thanks for the update!

10,000,000 autonomous deliveries 👏🏻🤖 Today, one of our robots delivered our Starship team a very special cake to celebrate this milestone! - 3000+ autonomous robots - 300+ locations - 8 markets - 23M+ km driven. Autonomously. In the real world. We’re celebrating every city, every partner, every team member and every customer who trusted a little six-wheeled robot with their order: this milestone is yours too ❤️ #robotdelivery #autonomousdelivery #robotics

@CatGodSandHive Love to hear that the robots bring joy and are a heart-warming part of your day!

@StarshipRobots Thanks ya! Every deployment step reminds me of the first time I crossed a street with a delivery bot, still a little heart‑warming thrill

🎤 Our Director of Government Affairs Aileen Zhong is speaking at Curbivore in LA tomorrow, April 17. The panel: how you actually scale autonomous vehicles from pilot to real-world deployment. Some things we know a thing or two about… 🤖

@InsiderPresider Agreed! The Sitting Bucks team has been on fire - we're really proud 🔥🤍

@StarshipRobots five years of winning is a serious streak congrats to the team

Champons! 🏐🏆 We’re proud to sponsor the Sitting Bucks, who brought home the trophy for the fifth year in a row at the Volleyball-England finals in Loughborough this weekend. For us, being part of the community goes beyond seeing our robots out making deliveries. It’s about supporting local teams and initiatives, and playing a role in something bigger. A special highlight: our robot had the honour of delivering the match ball to the opening server,and even came away with a gold medal of its own 🤖 Congratulations again to the team on an incredible achievement! #robotdelivery #sittingvolleyball #uk

@TheEVuniverse Much appreciated, this means a lot to our team! 🔥

@StarshipRobots this is HUGE, congrats

@CatGodSandHive Safe to say that it really did 🫣

@StarshipRobots The robot sidekick is gonna steal the show!

Come see us at Latitude59 next week! 🤖 In a world where anyone can access the same technology and tools, it’s the team of people that can't be replicated and matters most. Ahti Heinla and Heidy Kerma will be joining Allan Martinson and Enel Teinemaa on the Bold Stage to talk about the ‘who’ behind building a company like Starship. 📍 Bold Stage 🗓️ May 22 @ 13:30–14:00 The conversation: Despite all technology and new ways of building startups, it still really matters who you choose as your core team. ..and we’ll also have one of our robots accompany our speakers! See you in Tallinn! 🇪🇪 #latitude59

@CaptainPurdue This is so adorable!! 🤍🤖

guess what I 3d printed??? @StarshipRobots 😁

@0xconglomerate @Google 1,5M and rolling! Thanks for the recognition 🤖

The wrong hire costs more than an empty seat. Last Friday at Latitude59, our CEO Ahti Heinla and VP of People Heidy Kerma took the stage to talk about what it really takes to build the right team 🎤 Heidy joined Starship without a traditional HR background, but Ahti hired her anyway, because he saw she cared and wanted to get things done. 11 years later, she's our VP of People and has built a team that's mission-driven and keeps on delivering. 10 million times we should say. That's still how we hire. What helped us hit 10 million deliveries (and millions more than all our competitors combined), is these same three things: - resourcefulness is a must, not a bonus - culture isn't a vibe, but it's a foundation that needs to be protected - the wrong hire costs more than an empty seat As Ahti said it: "If you have the right people around you, you can do anything." What do you look for when hiring for culture? 👀 #Latitude59 #Culture #Robotics

We’re now delivering from 225 SOK stores across Finland! 🚀 56 of those are new locations that we’ve opened in the last 6 months covering Alepa, Sale and S-market stores. With that, our robots have now completed 1.5 million deliveries across the nation. This is what autonomous delivery looks like in 🇫🇮🤖

🧵10 million autonomous deliveries. The inflection point is here. Starship Technologies has crossed 10M deliveries. That milestone marks the moment last-mile autonomy shifts from proof-of-concept to structural reality. 🚀 We are the #1 leader in autonomous delivery and the only Physical AI proven at scale. - 3,000+ Level 4 autonomous robots - 8 countries - 300+ locations - 22M+ km autonomously driven in the real world - $3–4 cheaper per drop vs. rider delivery 💬 “We’ve moved beyond proving the technology: we’re now scaling it.” — Ahti Heinla, Co-founder & CEO Read more: lnkd.in/d6yzeEy2 #PhysicalAI #Autonomy #LastMileDelivery

🇫🇮 LIVE: now delivering hot food in Jyväskylä, Finland! For the first time ever in Finland, our robots are now delivering hot food to households in Jyväskylä with Wolt. Since the Finns are already well-familiar with our robots delivering groceries, it was only natural that we take the next step expanding to on-demand restaurant food, delivered in minutes, tracked in real-time. This is what scaling autonomous delivery actually looks like 😎 #finland #wolt #robotdelivery #autonomousdelivery

From engineering Skype to building the first-ever autonomous delivery robot in the world 🤖 Our CEO Ahti Heinla was in the latest episode of @EU_Startups Podcast to talk about the journey from helping build Skype to now solving one of the most complex challenges in urban infrastructure: the last-mile of delivery. 💬 Things we discussed: - key lessons from Skype on building technology that truly scales- why last-mile delivery is harder to crack than people assume - how autonomous robots fit into cities and are loved by communities - what regulation looks like when you're genuinely ahead of the rules 🎥 Watch the episode in YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=_TwkXl… #autonomousdelivery #podcast

Here’s our Curbivore 2026 recap from last Friday 💭 Our Director of Government Affairs Aileen Zhong joined a panel discussion about the infrastructure gaps, tech innovation and human involvement in the autonomous delivery industry. Events like this are less about the robots on display and more about the people shaping the category – operators, policymakers, investors and city planners all in the same room. Autonomous delivery isn't just a technology story. It's an infrastructure story too. We’re glad to have been involved in the discussion about the now and the future! 💫 #curbivore

Happy Earth Day!💚 When we put six wheels on a sidewalk instead of four on a road, we weren’t just rethinking delivery. We were rethinking its footprint. After 9+ million deliveries, we’ve helped replace car trips and reduce over 800 000 kg of CO₂ in Europe alone. Each trip using only a fraction of energy. Small robot. Small footprint. 🤖👣 #earthday

The last mile is the most expensive stage of the entire delivery process. Our CEO Ahti Heinla sat down with Sam Knowles, host of Data Malarkey – a podcast about how to use data smarter – to talk about real numbers behind how Starship operates at scale. 💬 Some topics we talked about: - the last mile problem and why physical delivery automation is harder than purely digital, - how Starship scaled and what sets it apart from competitors, - why robots should “not look human” - why the biggest data challenge is people *not* using data Out now on Spotify and Apple Podcasts! 🎙️ Listen here: bit.ly/4tmqZaF #autonomousdelivery #robotics #podcast
