Hello and welcome back to Twist. My name is Alex, and when I was but a humble young boy, I read a book called The Bible. And one thing that I talked about was Mana coming down from heaven. Well, as it turns out, there's a company out there in the world of startups that is using that name because they are also bringing down goods from the sky. Called Mana, it's a drone delivery company based originally out of Ireland that is growing quickly.
