19-year-old raises $6M for the worlds fastest production drone
At only 19 years old, George Matus has revolutionized the unmanned flight industry with what he calls “the Swiss Army Knife of drones.”
Teal, Matus’ Utah-based company that closed a $6 million round of funding in 2015, prides itself on engineering the world’s fastest and arguably most advanced production drone. The drone flies at over 75 mph, accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in just 1.1 seconds; carries an onboard supercomputer; records in 4k video; and is fully customizable.
Matus got involved in the unmanned flight industry at age 10 and quickly fell in love. At age 12 he became a test pilot for a leading drone company and began to develop his own designs.
Matus explained how he began to feel the desire to develop the perfect drone at the Silicon Slopes Tech Summit.
