Skycart Blog 5 Drone Startups to watch out for

Though Amazon may be the biggest name in the recent surge in excitement around drone delivery, they are far from the only ones to pick up on the idea. And while Amazon may be almost synonymous with shopping, there are still plenty of packages to be shipped from elsewhere.Intent on giving shipping companies like UPS and FedEx a run for their money, San Jose, CA based startup Skycart is on a mission to deliver packages quickly and affordably. Logistically, drone delivery is a lot simpler and cheaper. Operating costs are significantly lower than a typical courier’s, the journey from A to B does not require a drone to follow winding roads, and unmanned machines can operate – in theory – 24/7/365.Skycart might be a relatively faint blip on the radar at the moment, but if they play their cards right, they stand a good chance of being right in the centre of the explosion in drone delivery.Dana Halawi November 13, 2017
