Working from his family's garage, Curtis developed the first prototype capable of automatically swapping drone batteries. The early days were scrappy—our team operated out of air-conditioned tents during Miami's sweltering summers, but we were solving a problem that mattered.

The breakthrough came early. Our first customers weren't next door—they were in Saudi Arabia and Malaysia. Even with our humble setup, international operators recognized that autonomous battery swapping was the missing piece of the puzzle.

But the real turning point was realizing that one size doesn't fit all and customers don't want to be locked into using one tool or payload. Different missions need different drones, so we developed our Universal platform—designed to work with any aircraft. That insight became the cornerstone of everything we build.
