Airbound raises $8.65m led by Lachy Groom

Airbound, an autonomous delivery logistics firm specialising in blended-wing-body aircraft, on Tuesday announced that it has raised $8.65 million in seed funding led by Lachy Groom, co-founder of Physical Intelligence.

The funding also saw participation from Humba Ventures and Lightspeed, the startup said in a statement. The seed round also includes investment from senior leaders at Tesla, Anduril, and Ather Energy.

Following this seed round, Airbound has raised over $10 million in total funding.

The company plans to use the capital to scale manufacturing, expand operations beyond medical delivery, refine its technology, and prepare for wider market adoption in 2026, the statement added.

As part of its growth strategy, Airbound has also launched a three-month pilot partnership with Narayana Health, aiming to complete 10 medical deliveries per day including blood samples, test kits, and essential supplies.

“The healthcare sector represents the perfect testing ground for our technology because it demands both reliability and efficiency. Our partnership  with Narayana Health validates that our approach can handle the most critical delivery requirements while demonstrating the cost advantages that will make our service accessible globally,” said Naman Pushp, founder and CEO of Airbound.
