A commercial UAS software provider called Converge has announced that during its first seed funding, the company raised more than $750,000. The initial round of funding included investors such as Samsung NEXT, Techstars Ventures, and Kima Ventures.

Founded by alumni from The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Converge is developing artificial intelligence (AI) fueled software for UAS that enables them to handle dull, dirty, and dangerous work. Converge says that its software has already been piloted by a selection of UAS service providers, as well as one of the largest construction companies in Florida.

“Our mission is to bring the possibilities of drones to traditional industries such as insurance and construction,” says David Pitman, Co-Founder and CEO of Converge.

“We are using artificial intelligence to turn drones into an essential team member, working alongside humans, transforming the efficiency of operations. Drones have the ability to take on dull, dirty, and dangerous work; removing risk and enabling companies to save valuable time and money.”

Since closing the funding round, Converge has been able to run a deployment of its AI powered software for commercial UAS with more than 50 insurance adjusters at a global insurance company.

The investment is also helping to develop and refine Converge’s software, and grow the Converge team.
