It's a bird. It's a plane. It's a drone! From doorstep delivery to aerial data collection, drones are quickly becoming a powerful force for good across businesses and communities. DroneUp is leading this charge, accelerating from a small start-up to a global leader after receiving a significant investment from the #1 retailer in the world, Walmart, to deliver COVID tests during the pandemic. This partnership continued and became the impetus for the company to move beyond aerial data collection and into delivery services. Today, DroneUp provides a last-mile delivery system for swift local deliveries, as well as critical infrastructure inspections and airspace management solutions. With a culture that prioritizes safety over revenue, DroneUp partners closely with the FAA and collaborates on the overall development and adoption of drone-related standards. For insight, we sat down with Founder & CEO and former U.S. Naval Officer, Tom Walker, to discuss how DroneUp is scaling drone innovation to benefit both businesses and communities.
