(NASDAQ: SRTA), formerly Blade Air Mobility, Inc., is a leading provider of time-critical logistics and specialized medical services to healthcare providers across the United States. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in New York, the company facilitates the rapid movement of human organs for transplant, medical equipment, and personnel through a combination of aerial and ground transportation. In August 2025, the company completed the sale of its passenger business to Joby Aviation and rebranded as Strata Critical Medical, focusing on healthcare logistics. The company is led by Will Heyburn as Co-CEO and CFO, with Melissa Tomkiel also serving as CEO (as per some sources), and Robert Wiesenthal as Chairman. Strata employs approximately 600 people and generates revenue through critical medical transport services, clinical services, and logistics. Financially, the company has shown significant growth, with revenue increasing 87.4% year-over-year to $67.4 million in Q1 2026. It operates with a focus on efficiency, as evidenced by its asset turnover and working capital management. The company's market cap is around $500 million, and it trades on NASDAQ. With a mission to enhance healthcare delivery through speed and reliability, Strata is poised for continued expansion in the medical logistics sector.
