About

xCraft is an Idaho-based drone manufacturer founded by JD Claridge, known for its patented VTOL, fixed-wing, and tethered drone designs including the PANADRONE tethered drone system. The company builds purpose-engineered aircraft for defense, energy, security, and public safety customers rather than adapting a generic quad-copter design. xCraft gained national attention after a successful pitch on ABC's Shark Tank, where all five investors backed the company, and has since been featured in Fortune, TechCrunch, and Business Insider.

Summary

xCraft is a Robotics company based in Coeur d'Alene. It has raised $4.5M in total across 5 rounds, most recently a $1.1M Equity Crowdfunding round in Jul 2017. Investors include Mark Cuban, Robert Herjavec and Lori Greiner.
