Robotic Skies, which is a UAS maintenance network, has raised a round of venture capital financing, which was led by Kickstart Seed Fund of Salt Lake City, Utah, and also included participation by Sun Mountain Capital of Santa Fe, New Mexico.

According to Robotic Skies, the capital will expedite the “expansion of the Robotic Skies maintenance network for high-end commercial unmanned aircraft systems.”

“We are very excited that this group of experienced investors recognizes the unique solutions that Robotic Skies brings to the emerging unmanned aerospace market and decided to join our team,” says Robotic Skies CEO Brad Hayden.

“We look forward to accessing our capital partners’ pools of technical talent and expertise as we grow our network’s supporting infrastructure.”

Robotic Skies is a brokered global network that includes more than 150 independently-owned and operated repair stations that are equipped with the aviation expertise to provide maintenance and repairs on commercial UAS.

In an effort to offer “comprehensive field service programs designed to keep UAS flying safely, efficiently and affordably,” Robotic Skies relies on the best FAA-and aviation authority-approved maintenance organizations that currently maintain manned aircraft.

Dalton Wright, partner at Kickstart Seed Fund, says, “the team at Robotic Skies is addressing a fundamental need in the surging drone economy and has the opportunity to become the global leader in repair, maintenance, and services for commercial operators and manufacturers of advanced UAS. We think the sky is the limit for this company.”

Robotic Skies’ services are marketed towards commercial UAS manufacturers and enterprise fleet operators. Since its launch in 2014, Robotic Skies has built a strong portfolio of clients who manufacture or operate complex UAS such as high-end industrial multirotors and optionally piloted aircraft.
