At FlytBase, we re not just creating a product we re on a zero-to-one journey, building a whole new global category that s never existed before.
What does that mean? We re on a mission to unlock the world s third dimension with fully autonomous drones. It s the first of its kind. Therefore, everything we do requires first-principle thinking, bold experimentation, and a willingness to push boundaries. If you re bored of cookie-cutter playbooks and ready for something fresh, exciting (and yes, involving drones), this is your place. Don t believe it? Challenge us We d be more than happy to tell you why we re so confident in what we re building!
