Percepto, a provider of industrial autonomous drone solutions, today announced that it has raised $15 million Series A Round Funding, led by U.S. Venture Partners (USVP), with participation from existing investors NHN, Spider Capital and Emerge.

When Jack Wu and John Hsu founded Nightingale Security in 2014, protecting premises with drones serving as eyes in the skies was pretty much off the radar for most commercial and industrial enterprises. Now, as Nightingale’s visionaries prepare to celebrate the company’s fifth anniversary in June, they’re also celebrating an innovation whose time has come. 

The RS2 dealer meeting was held at the Coronado Island Marriott Resort and included a golf outing, a tour of the Midway aircraft carrier and a dinner cruise.

Dealers “like to learn from each other,” said Gary Staley, RS2 founding partner. Noting that attendees will keep one another in mind when they have a project that covers areas beyond their own geographic area, he said, “the camaraderie they build here goes a long way.” 

To catch up on all that’s been happening on Capitol Hill as of late, SDM spoke with Parker about what legislation is threatening to impact the security industry now.
