Verge Aero

Philadelphia company that grew out of robotics work at the University of Pennsylvania and still sits at the Pennovation campus. Two businesses in one: it produces shows itself and sells complete drone show systems to operators in other countries. The X7 drone and the Composer software are its own, and setup is quick, which matters for stadium slots where the field is free for twenty minutes.

Interesting for two kinds of clients. Event organisers get a crew that has flown NFL games, city celebrations and corporate events. Companies that want to start their own show business get hardware, software and training in one package instead of building everything from zero. For a one off village fete this is probably more technology than needed.
