Startup Up Sonder is an On-Demand P2P Service That Lets You Rent a Drone
Alyson Wyers — August 31, 2016 — Business
This peer-to-peer platform makes it easier than ever to rent a drone. Based in Los Angeles, Up Sonder is a startup and drone-sharing community. Made possible by the sharing economy, the new venture is described as the first of its kind.
The on-demand drone marketplace connects drone owners with those looking to rent a drone. Members are able to save money by searching for and renting a drone or drone rental service, rather than having to purchase their own. Up Sonder also utilizes UberRUSH, adding an on-demand element that has not been seen in the already limited drone rental space. This offers same day service for drone delivery, which is essentially unheard of with unmanned aerial vehicles.
