[How we decide](https://millionrounds.com/methodology) ## About Heart Aerospace Heart Aerospace is a manufacturer of hybrid-electric regional aircraft, focused on creating sustainable air travel solutions. The company is developing the ES-30, a 30-seat airliner designed to decarbonize short-haul flights and reduce operational costs. Founded in 2018 in Gothenburg, Sweden, Heart Aerospace moved its headquarters to Torrance, California, in 2025. The ES-30 aims for commercial service by 2028, with flight tests scheduled to begin in 2026. The company employs a skilled team of over 100 aerospace engineers and has raised approximately $190–$194 million in funding. Heart Aerospace is also building the necessary infrastructure for electric regional aviation, including a pilot plant and test sites in California and New York. The ES-30 features "Electric + Reserve HybridTM" technology, offering a fully electric range of 200 km, extendable to 400–800 km with hybrid capabilities. Heart Aerospace targets regional airlines and has secured a significant order for 200 aircraft from United Airlines and Mesa Air Group, aiming to connect communities through sustainable air travel. ## What company datasets say Heart Aerospace raised Funding, as reported Reported in all **$147M** in dollars Rounds **6** Last round **Series B** Last round size **$40M** Last round date **Feb 2024** Investors listed **15** Y Combinator **W19** ## Founders and team From Heart Aerospace's own website: 1 founder, 7 on the team. **Anders Forslund** Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer - **Cole Randle** Chief of Staff & Head of Corporate Affairs - **Benjamin Stabler** Chief Technology Officer - **Brittany Churchill** Chief Operating Officer - **Christian Garcia** Director - **David Giger** Director - **Gustaf Alströmer** Director - **Ted Persson** Director ## On 4 portfolio pages Investors who name them - [Unruly Capital](https://millionrounds.com/fund/unruly-capital) - [United Airlines Ventures](https://millionrounds.com/fund/united-airlines-ventures-2) - [Unmatched Ventures](https://millionrounds.com/fund/unmatched-ventures) - [Klaradal](https://millionrounds.com/fund/klaradal) Each firm lists Heart Aerospace on its own website.
