Arrive AI is an early-stage company building infrastructure for autonomous last-mile delivery — the final leg of delivery from a local hub to the end recipient via drones and robots. Its core product is the Arrive Point, a smart locker that acts as a secure handoff point connecting delivery drones, autonomous mobile robots, traditional couriers, and end recipients. Arrive Points are designed to be universally compatible across different drone and robotic delivery systems, rather than proprietary to any single operator. The company began commercial operations in 2025, with early pilot customers in medical and pharmaceutical delivery, where secure, temperature-controlled delivery is critical. Arrive AI targets three revenue streams: a Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) subscription model for access to its Arrive Point network; an ALM Marketplace, a software platform for scheduling drone and robot arrivals, optimizing space, and managing dynamic pricing for delivery slots; and AI Services, monetizing network data for use cases like routing optimization and demand forecasting. The company expects NaaS to account for roughly half of long-term revenue, with the remainder split between the marketplace and AI layers. Arrive AI's five-year plan targets deployment of 100,000 Arrive Points, with marketplace and AI revenue dependent on achieving sufficient network density. The company's strategic bet is that the ALM ecosystem will reward open, interoperable infrastructure over proprietary systems built by individual drone and robotics operators.
