Join the fastest growing and highest quality network of vetted drone pilots—no bidding, fair pay, and mission support on every mission.
Raad is an end-to-end aerial data solution for industry. This is a $25B frontier industry, but runs on technology and processes from the dark ages. We equip pilots with the full range of tools to collect pristine data, deliver to clients without reflies, and generate consistent earnings.
Rather than focus on monotonous, low-paying jobs, Raad currently enlists its pilots to fly for larger-scale industrial clients like utilities, solar, wind, telecoms, construction, insurance, and commercial real estate.
