Autonomous drone startup Skydio

raises $100 million and launches the X2 commercial drone

July 14, 2020

Skydio

has raised a $100 million Series C funding round, which was led by Next47 and includes participation from other new investors

  1. Levitate Capital
  2. NTT DOCOMO Ventures,

as well as existing investors

  1. a16z,
  2. IVP
  3. Playground.

This new funding

will help the drone maker move faster on its product development efforts, and expand its go-to-market strategy to cover

not only consumer applications,

but also enterprise and public sector drone technology, the company says.

To serve the market, Skydio

also launched the X2 family of drone hardware today, which is designed for commercial use.

The end result is video that looks like it was recorded by a professional film crew in a helicopter, but available to the general consumer market in a sub-$1,000 price point.
