Drone delivery service for last mile logistics

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build a network of autonomous drones that deliver goods directly to customers. Our drones fly from retail stores or distribution points straight to homes, making deliveries faster and more efficient than traditional delivery methods.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Reno, NV, and the company is based here as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Being in Reno allows us close connections to FAA partners and access to open airspace for testing. It also keeps our team small and focused rather than split across multiple locations.
