DroneDeploy
Acquired by Procore Technologies · 2026 · $845M DroneDeploy was a Drones & UAS Autonomy company founded in 2013 and based in San Francisco, United States. It was acquired by Procore Technologies in 2026 for $845M.
DroneDeploy builds a cloud software platform that automates drone flight and reality capture, letting a non-pilot run a mapping or inspection mission from a phone and get back stitched maps, 3D models, and AI analysis. Founded in 2013 in San Francisco by Mike Winn, Nicholas Pilkington, and Jono Millin, who first built it to help rangers survey wilderness, the company now serves construction, energy, and infrastructure customers automating site documentation, progress tracking, and inspection. The platform plans and runs autonomous flights across many drone models and applies AI to flag safety and progress issues. DroneDeploy reached break-even and in September 2025 raised a strategic $15M round co-led by Emergence Capital and Scale Venture Partners; total funding is reported above $150M.
DroneDeploy is the leading software layer for autonomous commercial drone mapping, turning hardware-agnostic flights into reality-capture data that automates inspection and site documentation at scale.
