JONO MILLIN
Co-founder and Chief Customer Officer, DroneDeploy
DroneDeploy is one of the companies accelerated by Amy Francetic at Energize Ventures.
The company culture and work space Jono and his partners created in San Francisco is ideal for innovation. It is a young, exciting company. Their software is infiltrating a number of industries, the most significant being renewable energy. DroneDeploy’s software helps drones develop and maintain renewable energy projects. Rather than the several days it would take to manually inspect hundreds of acres of solar panels by foot, DroneDeploy helps companies cover their ground in a matter of hours, significantly saving them time and money.
DroneDeploy is growing, and we are happy to see that the renewable energy industry has become their fastest growing customer.
“What we've seen in our customers is something really interesting and exciting. They've gone from these smaller scale, tens of megawatts solar projects to not only 10 times the number of megawatts being installed in any one project, but also 10 times the number of projects being installed at any one time.
