","elevator_pitch":"We are the patented safe, secure, smart drone delivery receptacle. Through the Dronedek platform we are able to ship and receive food, beverages, pharmaceuticals and parcels. We are app driven and are feature-rich with several offerings including a UV treatment process to disinfect deliveries from Coronavirus and other viral hazards.","story":"Arrive AI completes the last mile with our smart, secured receptacle technology. All of the value gained through the fast, green, convenient and cost effective strategy of delivery by drone or unmanned vehicle can evaporate when your package is compromised. Weather, animals, thieves and more can beat you to your item unless it’s safely deposited for you in your smart receptacle!Origin StoryBack in 2014, the idea of drone delivery was just being thought about. As Dan O'Toole, the founder of Arrive AI (formerly Dronedek), was returning home from an out of town meeting, his path took him down a rural 2-lane road. As he maneuvered his car down the endless paved road, he looked to his right to notice a drone flying beside him. As he watched the drone with fascination, he began to wonder how a drone could securely and accurately deliver packages to your home.First Patent Issued!Dan O'Toole had an idea. What separates an idea from reality is execution. Dan's belief is that when one person has an idea, ten people have the same idea. Upon returning home from his business trip, he worked daily for hours on end to add every feature and benefit that could possibly be added to the Arrive AI Vision. Within a week, he filed for a United States Utility Patent. Now the waiting game had begun. Patent Issued!\u0026nbsp;Arrive AI's licensing agreement includes the original 2017 patents awarded to Dan O'Toole. As a result Arrive AI's license is\u0026nbsp;for smart, safe and\u0026nbsp;secured drone delivery and includes the first\u0026nbsp;utility patent for secured drone delivery. As it would turn out, O'Toole's patents and Arrive AI licensing agreement\u0026nbsp;had beaten Amazon by just nine days, the US Postal Service by some two weeks and others by just 22 days. Since, the Arrive AI\u0026nbsp;licensing agreement has expanded by O'Toole's second granted patent in October of 2019 with additional patents currently up for examination with the USPTO.Dronedek: Licensing For\u0026nbsp;The First-Position Patented Solution For The Future of Drone DeliveryEach day there are 100 million items purchased on the internet. 91% or 91 million of those items are 5 pounds\u0026nbsp;or less, making them \"drone deliverable\". Parcel delivery is easily the single fastest growing facet of the logistics industry. Every day in the US, there are 1.7 million delivered packages stolen. As autonomous delivery becomes a \"thing\" there is a need right now for the convenience of smart, secure delivery, whether conventional or otherwise. Enter Arrive AI (formerly Dronedek). Using drone delivery can reduce overall delivery costs on applicable packages, with potential savings within the shipping economy of $1 Billion every 11 days. In addition to this, greenhouse gases and traffic congestion can be heavily reduced. FeaturesArrive AI has the capacity to both ship and receive your items. Arrive AI is a platform-agnostic product that is able to ship and receive via robotic delivery, aerial drone delivery, unmanned-vehicle delivery and of course conventional delivery. Arrive AI features a variety of tech features to make it the most advanced drone delivery receptacle on the market. These features include:Heated Motorized Door (melts snow off top)Cushioned platform to prevent package damageLowering platform for increased package capacity Climate Controlled for food/beverage/pharmaceuticalsLetter Slot for Traditional MailSensor Detection for biohazards and explosives with emergency service reportingUV Disinfection Solar Panel for onboard powerDrone ChargingCommunication FeaturesGPS CommunicationDrone StatusBluetoothTwo-Way Speaker SystemDocuSign\u0026nbsp;compatible for acceptance of deliverySecurity FeaturesMounted Security CameraPasscode/Key/Fob AccessEncrypted AccessAbility to “Paint” Targets for Tag and TrackArrive AI Arrive AI Market OpportunityConsider that there are 160 million addresses and each day 4,000 new addresses are added. To these addresses, over 600 Million Items are delivered daily. Plus, Arrive AI presents new opportunities for temperature-sensitive deliveries including food, drinks, pharmaceuticals, and more.Secured drone delivery is gaining\u0026nbsp;speed in the market with Federal Aviation Administration granting approval for certain drone operation.Arrive AI's licensing agreement allows the company to commercialize secured drone delivery. The subscription based revenue model for residential and commercial business\u0026nbsp;accounts includes the entire US market.\u0026nbsp; The current market forecast is based on an ultra conservative\u0026nbsp;1% market penetration.\u0026nbsp;Our conservative\u0026nbsp;revenue model does not currently include\u0026nbsp;platform access fee revenue\u0026nbsp; nor does it include our\u0026nbsp;big data revenue stream.Strong Patent PortfolioAll-in, Arrive AI licensing agreement includes\u0026nbsp;a combined 112 claims through its patent filings and licensing agreement.\u0026nbsp;We believe\u0026nbsp;Arrive AI has the most comprehensive and robust patent portfolio in the drone delivery receptacle space. Our strong first-position patent licensing will allow us to negotiate and issue licensing opportunities and to collaborate with some of the largest companies in the entire world. SummaryArrive AI is the smart mailbox for a new age of delivery. We ask to come join us on our journey to making our product the gold standard for residences and businesses\u0026nbsp;all across the United States. In a large and ever-expanding marketplace and a need for more efficient last-mile fulfillment, we believe Arrive AI is the answer. With our strong patent portfolio at the forefront of this field, multiple potential revenue streams, and an experienced leadership team, we are set up for success. The world is an ever-changing place.\u0026nbsp; The next big seismic shift in last-mile logistics is set to take place imminently and Arrive AI is at the precipice.\u0026nbsp; We are building out the next great utility.\u0026nbsp; While the drone will be the commodity, Arrive AI , the safe, secure, smart mailbox of drone and autonomous delivery will be the piece of real estate where all delivery terminates.\u0026nbsp; Recognizing an opportunity in the moment is the key to successful investing.\u0026nbsp; Is this your moment?\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;The sky’s the limit, so come fly with us!

We have always dealt with questions on our valuation head-on, and make no excuse about it. The number is based on a multi-faceted financial model that takes into account the DRONEDEK Intellectual Property(2 issued US Utility patents and 2 more in examination), the total addressable market of 160M addresses(TAM), terminal value, market opportunity, multi-sided revenue model, and the players that will be engaging with us. The DRONEDEK Investment is a speculative one and there is no guarantee as to any outcome. All of our projections and assumptions are forward-looking and past history is no guarantee of future results. The valuation is further based on internal benchmarks that the management team set, based on their years of experience with various companies, as parameters to create intrinsic value. Some of these factors include market traction with major players, market acceptance with client demographics, issued patents, prototype evolution, additional patents filed, favorable market view of the drone delivery space in general, testing regimes set, municipality interest, and validation of our valuation by accredited investors and venture capital groups. The third-party validation is based on investment by both, venture capital and accredited investors. DRONEDEK is committed to the long run. It would have been easy to take the \"short\" money and sell a portion or all of the company early on. We didn't. We self-funded for 6 years until the timing was right to open up the DRONEDEK opportunity to like-minded investors. Accepting the early, \"short\" money, might have been a disservice to our investors and to the company. Our core belief is that our intellectual property and leadership team with their experience is our equity to obtain the capital for development and execution. For that reason, it was important to build on our value, to the point that we achieved a level commensurate with the scope of what we have, in order that we can successfully convert equity to capital, in an amount that will allow the company to fulfill its capital needs of our development, and still hold a healthy balance sheet, as well as equity for our robust development moving forward. We have so much to do and so much to offer but as you know progress of those great ideas is fueled with the right capital to implement those ideas. The DRONEDEK Intellectual Property is can be viewed at https://www.dronedek.com/patents/ where you can see the strengths of the intellectual property (IP) explained in detail. We are excited about where we are today and what the future holds for DRONEDEK. In addition to the 2 issued utility patents, we have 2 additional patent applications submitted with the USPTO now and several more under development. By definition, a US Utility patent provides security and exclusivity for the disclosed protected item in its space for a period of time. To that point, we were granted the very first patent in the drone delivery, smart mailbox space. All of our IP centers around our smart mailbox technology. We are not the drone, which is where the bulk of activity seems to be with Walmart and Amazon. Thank you so much for asking your questions. I hope that we gave you the answers you were seeking. Please let me know if you have any further questions or comments. Thank you.

They include the first position, prior art in the smart mailbox space of drone delivery. DRONEDEK is developing its production units around this foundational IP and is set to announce multiple testing programs in the near future with both municipalities and corporations . Our valuation is based on a road map of internal benchmarks and milestones achieved, thus creating intrinsic value. The valuation is based on the issued utility patents, the market opportunity, the development we have attained, traction in the marketplace, leadership team and execution. We understand that our valuation is significant, however, so is the opportunity. If a companies equity is the capital of their development and the opportunity is so great that the capital needed to realize the end goal is significant than, inherently so must be the valuation. The greatest disservice that could have been done would have been to take the early money and in doing so, undervaluing the company, which would have lead to under capitalization and you know how that story ends. DRONEDEK is a significant opportunity. We acknowledge our high valuation. For every rule, there’s an exception. Our valuation has been validated by accredited investors, venture capital as well as retail investment. You are able to see their investment on our cap table, which documents their investment, located in our campaign at Wefunder.com/dronedek Linda, thank you for your consideration in DRONEDEK.

Currently, the max raise is $1,070,000. We are technically sold out at this time. In every case, investors are given the chance to back out, prior to their funding being tendered to the raising company or in this case DRONEDEK. Since some investors may choose to have their money returned, it is customary to over-raise by a company to account for some lost investment. Your second point is an interesting one. The government is poised to raise the ceiling allowed to be raised through crowdfunding from the current $1,070,000 to $5,000,000. As you know, as one of our investors, we have an ongoing signicant capital need to continue our development and to build out the marketplace.

As drone technology and the larger autonomous vehicle market evolves along with the need for secure deliveries, do you see DRONEDEK as a player for the larger items? Additionally, what technological risk do you see on the horizon? How is DRONEDEK powered? It seems like it would require constant power in order for the receptacle to open when a drone is about to make a delivery, when the ultimate receiver goes to retrieve their package and to stay closed in between those times. How will natural disasters affect shipping times/the ability of the DRONEDEK to operate? With the winter storm occurring across the midwest right now, would DRONEDEK be able to partner with NGO's and governmental organizations to help provide relief when cars cannot reach affected areas?

I would like to start out by saying that the 5 lb item represents 91% of all products purchased daily. UPS just sold its trucking division to further focus on its core business of small package delivery. While, we agree, that as the market and the technology evolve, the capacities will most certainly increase. DRONEDEK will be able to accept deliveries from aerial drones, robotic delivery, unmanned vehicle as well as conventional delivery. 80% of the market is residential and 20% commercial. Typically, residential deliveries are smaller in nature. On the commercial side, DRONEDEK is envisioning 3 sizes of receptacles to accommodate the larger deliveries that I believe you are referring to. We are developing, ideating, and iterating around the subject matter right now and have not encountered any technical challenges that we won't be able to overcome. DRONEDEK is powered in most cases by hearty and robust 110 power. In certain and appropriate cases, solar power may be employed. DRONEDEK will be installed in a deliberate and well-engineered manner and will be built to a military specification with the protection of a weather station. We are not the drone and we will stand ready for any form of delivery that is capable, at the moment, of making it to our platform-agnostic, welcoming arms. DRONEDEK will provide so many conveniences to its users that it will be surprising. We will be able to solve many issues while delivering, efficiency, cost-reduction, and speed. Not to mention that we will be a green-friendly solution. Thank you.

It's getting very close and that is exciting. 2- DRONEDEK has USPS compatibility designed into our platform. We have built a unique USPS area in compliance with USPS Specifications. 3-HOA's are their own entity and we believe that each group will be work with us to allow DRONEDEK to be a viable solution. Our market research shows that the highest percentage segment of the drone delivery market will be situated in HOA Subdivisions. As such, we believe that those residents will dictate their own rules and ultimately allow for drone delivery to a DRONEDEK. 4-Currently, there are 100 million items purchased online every day. 91% of those items are 5lbs or less, making them drone deliverable. Currently, when those items are delivered conventionally, the average cost is about $2. When those same items are delivered by a drone to a DRONEDEK, the cost falls to around $1. This savings will result in a $1 billion savings to the shipping economy every 11 days.

We will be performing testing and routine delivery SOP's to our new DRONEDEK. Through that process, we will be producing media assets and will be disseminating them to our community and to the press at large. DRONEDEK is quite safe and secure. We start out with a strong and rigid unit, built to the standards of a weather station. We then add encryption and validation for access to the DRONEDEK. We top it off with activity-driven video and recording and even more. We are set to disrupt the current everyday theft number of 1.7 M packages stolen. The DRONEDEK has an embedded GPS with battery backup built-in, should we need to track its location. DRONEDEK can be located in many locations. Our granted patents allow for us to configure DRONEDEK in many ways; in front of your home or business, in the back, on the roof, on a porch, in a sub-grade vault, and more.

The answer to every one of these questions and virtually every question can be yes. There will be rigid laws against doing so. Additionally, there will be video surveillance of these events, which will hopefully serve to minimize them. Unfortunately, there will always be someone willing to ignore the law.

I apologize in advance if these questions seem \"trivial\". my questions.. what happens when there are more than one package inside the Dronedek and a consumer arrives to retrieve their package? Are the other packages accessible to this consumer? and all future consumers? what security mechanism is in place to guarantee only the package intended for the person is the only package taken? Also, what would stop a person from waiting nearby one of the Dronedek mailboxes and grabbing the package as the drone is hovering the drop slot? I mean we see every year, especially around Christmas time, these package thieves following the UPS and FedEx trucks so they can grab the packages as they are delivered. The drones obviously are too small for so called \"Air Marshals\" so what security feature guarantees the package cannot be snatched from the drones? the Dronedek is capable of accepting packages as well, how is the postage determined? Where would the consumer actually place the package? Are drones or humans retrieving the outbound packages? If drones, what happens if the package is not secured and it opens during flight? or too heavy for the drone?

DRONEDEK is set up to receive multiple packages. The user is able to access the cargo area from the rear side of the DRONEDEK. DRONEDEK is able to accommodate multiple packages. Since all package combinations vary, we can not say that it will hold a specific number of packages. DRONEDEK has developed its own proprietary API for precision landing and for encrypted entry into the DRONEDEK by authenticated shippers and deliverers as well as by the authorized user/owner/subscriber. As for the protection of the cargo, any attempt to interfere with a drone will be considered a Federal Offense. The DRONEDEK will monitor in real-time any interference with cargo delivery or pickup. Video will be taken of the activity and any attempt to steal the cargo will result in an audible alarm as well as a notification to the recipient once the electronic perimeter is broken. The drones will be flying at an altitude that will not allow for \"in-flight\" theft. The postage/charges for drone delivery will be determined and assessed by the shipper or deliverer by the logistics company directly to the user. Packages shall be placed in the DRONEDEK cargo area by the user for pickup by the logistics company. Shipments will be placed within a \"standardized\" shipping harness, which will allow for pickup as well as for safeguarding the cargo so that it doesn't come open and drop onto a person or item below.
