SUBJECT LINE: Drone Startup To Reinvent The Future! (Join Us)

MESSAGE:

Hello,

I’m reaching out to see whether you’d be interested in joining our round of
financing (Series A) for our startup as an investor.

Below you’ll find the info on our startup, the market..etc.

New Startup specializing in industrial drones: Series A

GRIFF Aviation: http://griffaviation.com/

Contact: masa at amconsulting.io

Drones that lift heavy things. They do the heavy lifting at power tower
construction sites.

Market:

This is a huge market [SOM:5.4B USD]. The demand for electricity is only
growing. The amount of newly built or repaired power grid towers will
increase every year. And the lack of human resources at construction sites
is severe today, which gives a huge push towards unmanned operation.

Problem/Solution:

Today, most of the logistics for building power towers is done by a
helicopter or a tram. This operation costs around 1M USD per each
construction site. A helicopter is not flexible. A tram is slow and hard to
install. And both are expensive.

Heavy lifting drones can be mobile and unmanned which increases security.
The operating cost is 1/3 of a helicopter or a tram. GRIFF Aviation can now
lift up to 135kg (50kg in payload). By the end of next year, they will have
a drone that can lift 1000kg in payload which will replace 90% of the
logistics at construction sites.

GRIFF Aviation has tapped into a niche market where drones could be worth
the most. Short distance, but difficult access. Non-civilian areas.
Electricity is vital for humans but not much technology advancement has
been made on the production side. Typical use case will be 3-5km in
distance, 100 - 500m up vertical and carrying 30kg to 250kg in payload.

Doesn’t sound very sexy, but every power grid company needs this. GRIFF
Aviation has sold 2 of its 135kg capacity drones to Tokyo Electric Power
Company in Japan. And currently in contract with them to build a 1000kg
lifting drone.

Please let us know if you would be interested to join the round of Series A.

Thanks a lot,

Lahcen
