Drone Startup Up Sonder Opens Investment to Its Drone Operators
(Los Angeles, CA)–Drone services company Up Sonder continues its mission to democratize drones by partnering with investment platform Republic (an offshoot of AngelList) to make it possible for its pilots, members, and the general public to invest in the company. Up Sonder has already successfully raised over 340% of its minimum funding goal and still has over a month left to raise funds.
“From the very beginning, Up Sonder’s goal has been to serve our community first. We give our drone pilots more control than any other platform and believe that everyone should benefit from the drone revolution,” Derek Waleko Up Sonder’s CEO and Co-Founder said.
Up Sonder listed with the Republic because it is one of the few investment platforms to capitalize on SEC rules changes in 2016 that allow for non-accredited investors (the vast majority of Americans) to invest in startups legally and safely. Before, only accredited investors, those with millions of net worth or hundreds of thousands in annual income, could invest in startups. Up Sonder is currently offering open investment on Republic for as little as $100.
Please visit Up Sonder’s pitch page on Republic (https://republic.co/up-sonder) to find out more about Up Sonder’s vision, terms of the deal, and links to how this equity crowdfunding works.
“We invite you to take this opportunity to stake your claim in a drone future by investing in Up Sonder. Visit our Republic page for deal terms, our SEC filing and to learn more about our vision for the future. Invest today!” Waleko said.
