DASH Systems is trying to solve one major inefficiency that plagues air delivery: you have to land the plane every time you deliver a package to a location on the ground. That means planes have to make stops for each delivery, find a runway to safely land and then waste fuel taking off again. So how is the company hoping to solve this? By tossing those packages out of planes while they’re still in the air.
And on Wednesday, the LA-based company got the funding to make this possible. DASH Systems just announced the closing of its $8 million seed funding round, which was led by 8VC.
