Abby Speicher emails, “I founded DARTdrones Flight Academy in December 2014. Our school for drone pilots focuses on safety, FAA regulations, and comprehensive understanding of the equipment. DARTdrones offers courses such as ‘Basic Training’ and ‘Advanced Missions’ for corporate clients, emergency services teams, and individual drone pilots. We’ve seen success and quick growth since winning the Babson BETA Challenge, participating in the WIN Lab and Summer Venture Program, and being granted FAA certification to fly drones commercially. DARTdrones primarily employs military veterans and was featured on the front page of The Boston Globe on May 28.”
