As one of the first national drone services providers in the U.S., the development of the sUAS industry and regulatory advancements is extremely important to us. Since 2014, Measure’s leadership has maintained a presence in the FAA, Congress, and even the White House.
While drone manufacturers have begun to struggle with the challenges of commoditization, Measure’s Drone as a Service® model has been flourishing. The service operator capped off a successful 2016 by closing a $15 million Series B funding round. Fortune 500 IT firm Cognizant led the raise, along with Measure’s early investors and a number of new strategic partners. The investment is indicative of something Measure has understood from day one: services are at the core of the commercial drone industry. With dozens of software options and hundreds of different drones, customers need vendors with the reach and expertise to deliver the data they need quickly and cost-effectively. With this new infusion of cash, Measure is augmenting its data capabilities, growing its fleet, and ramping up operations nationwide.
