Want to become an innovator?

Join us at the forefront of robotics to promote a new generation of drones — capable not just of flying, but of physically interacting with the world.

Following the release of our first product in 2022 and achieving product–market fit in 2023, we're now entering a high-growth phase. Voliro is backed by Cherry Ventures, one of Europe’s leading early-stage investors, and by noa, a fast-rising VC firm focused on early-stage industrial and deeptech startups with global potential.

With this strong support and fresh capital, we are scaling rapidly — building our global presence in North America and Europe and doubling down on delivering an exceptional customer experience.

Voliro is headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, with a growing commercial team in the U.S.
