Skydio IPO news and media highlights

TechCrunch 11/15/2024

Drone manufacturer Skydio raises $170 million extension round

American drone manufacturer Skydio has raised an extension round of $170 million, adding to the $230 million Series E it closed early last year. The new tranche of funding brings in strategic investors like Japanese telecom operator KDDI and Axon, the creator of the taser and other police tech. It also includes previous investors, like Linse Capital, which owns more than 21% of the drone maker.
TechCrunch 02/27/2023

Skydio soars to a $2.2 billion valuation after raising $230M Series E

Drones are quickly becoming more than flying selfie cameras. Amid growing geopolitical tensions, drone makers are seeing increased demand and acceptance as drones move farther from consumers’ hands. Skydio today announced a $230 million Series E fundraising round and the construction of a new manufacturing facility in America. The company says it’s seen a 30x growth over the last three years and is now the largest drone manufacturer in the United States.
The Verge 01/04/2022

Skydio announces $1,099 Skydio 2 Plus, turns drones into programmable cameramen with free update

Skydio, the US company building self-flying, obstacle-dodging drones that a three-year-old can pilot without fear, is making two announcements today during CES 2022. One of them is an expensive fix for the Skydio 2’s single biggest shortcoming — the other, a totally free update that adds one of the most exciting features yet: Skydio KeyFrame.
The Verge 05/04/2021

Skydio starts shipping first X2 enterprise drones with prices from $10,999

US dronemaker Skydio has begun shipping its first enterprise drones today with prices starting at an enterprise-worthy $10,999. Skydio is best known as a pioneer of self-flying drone tech, but in recent years has shifted its attention away from a consumer market dominated by Chinese giant DJI to courting enterprise customers instead. This switch is partly due to geopolitics. The US government blacklisted various Chinese drones over spying fears last year, meaning law enforcement, military, and federal customers are looking more to US firms instead.
