About

We are building self-driving software for delivery operations.

So the next mid-sized operator does not have to choose between staying small or going broke.

Mission

Build the operator the human supervises.

Last-mile delivery is a 200 billion dollar industry where most operators run on Excel, WhatsApp, and exhausted dispatchers. The work that takes 90 minutes every morning to start the day, and another 6 hours to babysit through, is not routing.

Routing is the easy part. The hard part is the messy operations layer: orders from 6 different sources, drivers going silent for hours, customers rescheduling at 11 AM, deliveries that fail and need to be retried tomorrow.

We are building the autonomous agent that does that work. Not as a tool the operator has to learn, but as an operator the human supervises.

The story

How we met.

13 months ago, Aymard moved from Cameroon to Montreal. He needed a mattress and walked into a furniture store ten metres from his new apartment. The owner of the store, a woman from Quebec, sold him the mattress and said: "you have to meet my son."

That son was Marc-Antoine. We started building Dropioo together within weeks.

Aymard had been running Hospisoft, his AI hospital management platform deployed in clinics across Cameroon, since 2015. Marc-Antoine had spent 8 years inside last-mile delivery in Quebec, eventually running his own company with 3 trucks and 6 drivers, doing 40 to 85 stops per day for Best Buy, Costco, Home Depot, and The Brick.

When Aymard described the AI agents he was experimenting with, Marc-Antoine described the work that almost killed his delivery company. We realized we were each holding half of the same problem. We started writing code that week.

The team

Two founders. One problem.

A
Aymard Djadchin
Co-founder & CEO

12 years of software engineering. Built Hospisoft, an AI healthcare platform deployed in clinics across Cameroon (600+ doctors, 500,000+ patient records).

Won the We Data Challenge 2018 in France for AI in healthcare (10,000 euros against PhD research teams). With Universal Software, his company in Cameroon, won three public contracts totaling around 310,000 USD with the National Social Insurance Fund and CAMTEL.

Selected into the African Impact Challenge 2024 Pre-Incubation Cohort by the African Impact Initiative, the University of Toronto, and the Mastercard Foundation.

Marc-Antoine Padila
Co-founder & COO

8 years inside last-mile delivery in Quebec. Drove first, then ran his own delivery company with 3 trucks, 6 drivers, doing 40 to 85 stops per day for major retailers.

Survived a 150,000 dollar disputed damage claim because he learned to keep his own photo evidence outside his platform's bugged software.

The user who lived the broken system for 8 years and decided to build the right one.

Where we are based

Montreal. Heading to San Francisco.

We will relocate to San Francisco for the YC batch and maintain a strong San Francisco presence afterward, while keeping our customer development engine in Quebec and Ontario. Our first design partners and pilot customers are Canadian.

Want to build delivery operations that actually work?

We are onboarding our first paid pilots in June 2026. If you run 20 to 500 deliveries a day, let's talk. If you are an operator who has thought about this problem, we want to hear from you too.
