Week 1: Providing food delivery
through an autonomous drone service
We thought...
Restaurants and food services would be our customers, because
they need faster, cheaper, and longer-distance delivery.

Customers: Owners of restaurants and food/grocery retailers
Week 1: Providing food delivery
through an autonomous drone service
We thought...
Restaurants and food services would be our customers, because
they need faster, cheaper, and longer-distance delivery.
1
So we talked to...
11 owners and managers at restaurants in
North Carolina, where regulations allow for drone operations
Customers: Owners of restaurants and food/grocery retailers
Learnings:
- Restaurants are not happy with current
delivery services:
“Doordash takes away our control over the
service we provide to our customers. The fees
are too high and the drivers are not too nice
with customers or the restaurants.”
— Mexican Cuisine Worker

“We wouldn't use DoorDash… we would have

“People might shoot down drones.”

Week 4: Diving into Regulatory Problem for
Last-mile Drone Delivery
We thought...
The main challenge in adopting last-mile drone delivery for
food is regulatory compliance based on recurring
complaints by customers.
“If regulatory is not on board, you can never do drone deliveries.”
—Zipline Engineer

Customers: Technical and Strategy Leads at Intermediary delivery platforms

So we talked to...
- Drone delivery services executive leaders and flight engineers
(Deuce Drone, Zipline)
- Autonomous driving engineer (Lyft)
- VCs with prior drone investments (Floodgate)
- Executives at Food Delivery Platform (Doordash, Menufy,
Customers: Technical and Strategy Leads at Intermediary delivery platforms
Learnings:
- Food delivery platforms are not early
adopters
“We find drone deliveries to be interesting and agree that it
will be the future of delivery, but we want to see traction
through a few successful pilots before partnering together”
- Director at DoorDash

- Several key components beyond
regulatory are needed to bring value
to drone delivery
“Regulation is key, and it’s interrelated with product
and engineering.”
- Co-founder of Large Drone Delivery Company

Move beyond

We thought...
Tackling regulatory across modules is too expansive as an MVP.
It is most feasible to focus on one module—fleet management,
supported by ongoing pilot tests with different drone types and
large fleet expectations.

- Positive customer feedback, but the

- “Our endgame is to have a true fleet of

would need fleet management...but we
don’t have a fleet right now.”

Future Plans
Market Not Ready + Lack of Product-Market Fit
Most companies we targeted were still in the discovery phase and
not in the growth phase.
Our product offering aims to automate processes such as regulatory
compliance and fleet management, but:
- Drone delivery companies are operating at most 5 drones
- Regulatory processes are not defined enough for automation
- Market susceptible to much change
Overall Learnings
● More companies are starting to look into drone delivery.
● Although drone delivery companies don’t need our solution today,
they see the need for our service in the future as the regulatory
space and multiple drone operations grows.
