The funds raised will be used to fund the Company's product inventory and for ongoing working capital.

Commenting on the Placement, Parazero Managing Director Eden Attias said: "I would like to thank all the investors that participated in this placement. This placement will support the Company's strategy to ensure its success under the following guidelines:

  • Clear cost reduction.
  • Focus on professional and commercial users to meet the expected growth following the new FAA safety regulations.
  • Continue our extensive OEM capabilities to serve additional drone manufacturers.
  • Leverage 2018 product development, design and manufacture into sales.

We expect 2019 to have significant opportunities to add value for all stakeholders and building on the progress we made in 2018.

Lately, there have been numerous industry updates:

We are happy to inform that under the North Dakota Integration Pilot Program, a second FAA waiver was granted using ParaZero's SafeAir System on a DJI Phantom 4.

In addition, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) UK approved an operational safety case (OSC) that allows extended visual line of sight operations. ParaZero's drone safety system is one of the risk mitigation systems being used.

Finally, ParaZero is pleased to announce that it has been named as a finalist in the Safety Solutions category of the XCELLENCE Awards by the Association for Unmanned Vehicles Systems International (AUVSI).
