Michael here! Quick update this week as we continue to focus on delivering Beta.

Right now, we’re working through the first large-scale shipment of Beta units into the United States.

The first time is always the hardest.

There’s a mountain of paperwork, customs forms, import details, and duty setup that needs to be handled properly before shipments can arrive smoothly.

All the paperwork has been submitted and we expect to receive approval from the import agencies within the next two weeks.

This is one of those behind-the-scenes steps that may not look flashy, but it’s a huge part of getting Bía from the production line to your doorstep.

We're Hiring 🚀

Today, Bía is 13 full-time employees in Canada, supported by dozens of amazing contractors around the world.
