Student Startup Raises US$1.85m for Medical Cargo Drone Transport System
Haast Autonomous, a Houston startup founded by Rice University graduates, secured $1.85 million in pre‑seed funding to develop a medical‑cargo drone system. The VTOL aircraft can travel 50‑62 miles while carrying at least 5 lb of temperature‑controlled, sensitive supplies, and its software manages dispatch, routing, and chain‑of‑custody tracking. The team produced 13 prototypes in 16 weeks, winning multiple university awards and securing partnerships, and plans pilot trials in early 2027. The platform targets the logistics gap created by hospital service consolidation.
