OVERVIEW
*Images are computer generated demo versions. Product is still currently under development.
Our mission is to bring new sustainability to commuter transportation by making flight accessible to the masses. The Doroni H1 is our go-to-market personal eVTOL (AKA “flying car”) that will offer a safe, practical, and environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional automobiles. We are helping define the future of Urban Air Mobility by engaging with the aviation industry, academia, the military, and the FAA as well as our prospective civilian and commercial customers.

THE PROBLEM
Automobiles deal massive damage to our planet and force us to rely on infrastructure that’s both costly and unsustainable. The transportation sector generates the largest share of greenhouse emission in the US (Source), added to the fact that state and local governments spent $203 billion on highways and roads in 2019 alone (Source). The White House has taken major steps to combat the problem, committing $39 billion to modernize transit and reduce carbon emissions via the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (Source).
As population densities in cities continue to increase, gridlock and traffic will only get worse—reducing our quality of life and negatively impacting our mental health (Source). The world needs a new mode of transportation that can lighten the load on our environment and infrastructure.
THE SOLUTION
The Doroni H1 is a personal eVTOL that anyone can own, fly, and park in a standard 2-car garage. No pilot’s license required—all you’ll need is a valid driver’s license and completion of a 20-hour training course (which we’ll provide) to get started.
*Images are computer generated demo versions. Product is still currently under development.
Our team designed an intuitive, easy-to-use aircraft control system for the H1 based on an auto-stabilizing, multi-rotor aircraft with 3 axes of movement. By simplifying the inherent complexities of plane and helicopter flight, we can make it user-friendly and accessible to everyone.
Democratizing Flight
We’re building what we believe will become the go-to family vehicle of the future, capable of revolutionizing the way we live, commute, and even build cities if scaled correctly. While the industry is currently getting commercial air taxi operations off the ground, Doroni is aiming to disrupt the personal mobility market, as we believe personal eVTOLs—not commercial air taxis—are the future of transportation.
Our technology and design are what set us apart. The Doroni H1 combines the best features of a drone and an aircraft, designed with ease of use, quick deployment, and practicality in mind—and we’re set on growing our current intellectual property to include 9+ design, aerodynamic, and battery utility patents by Q1 2023.
Plus, we’re targeting a Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) certification with the FAA that would make us extremely viable when compared to the complicated and time-consuming certification processes of our larger air taxi competitors.
From its inception with the Doroni Y6 and X8 prototypes that came before it, the Doroni H1 was designed to maximize safety and will undergo exhaustive multi-level quality control.
As a flying vehicle that you can park in your garage, safety must come first. That’s why we designed the H1 with ducted propellers that greatly increase its overall safety, while also enabling a higher thrust efficiency and greatly reduced noise levels. The H1 will also be equipped with airframe parachutes and a variety of sensors, which helps the aircraft maintain its altitude and position in windy conditions and during close maneuvers in crowded environments.
*Images are computer generated demo versions. Product is still currently under development.g
The Doroni H1 sports a blazing fast charge time of 15-20 minutes, has a cruising speed of 100 mph, max speed of 140 mph, and currently has a range of 60 miles. As EV technology continues to advance, we project this range to increase to 100 miles as we near product launch.
*Images are computer generated demo versions. Product is still currently under development.
In terms of pilot control, each of the aircraft’s control sticks mirrors the other for right or left-handed use, with control taken over by the last stick engaged. Pitch, roll, and yawl are all integrated into this single stick and anti-collision sensors will maintain the aircraft’s position should you remove your hands from the stick.
*Images are computer generated demo versions. Product is still currently under development.
This, combined with H1’s propulsion system, will make it a very agile and maneuverable vehicle that can accomplish a variety of tasks and therefore be used in a variety of different target markets. In particular, we are very excited to see how the H1’s quick deployment and ease of use will help shave minutes off the average EMS response time of 6-7 minutes in urban settings to help save lives.
OUR TRACTION
*Images are computer generated demo versions. Product is still currently under development.
Our last raise was oversubscribed—closing early and meeting our $1.07M offering max. Now, we’re back on StartEngine to meet the demand from over 900 investors and counting. Our notable milestones include:

THE MARKET
The world is ready for an entirely new market
In 2021, two new bills were passed by the US House of Representatives targeting this sector—the Advanced Air Mobility Coordination and Leadership Act calls for the development of an interagency working group to help the federal government develop a strategy to promote AAM (Source).
*Images are computer generated demo versions. Product is still currently under development.

NASA and the FAA are collaborating on the Advanced Air Mobility National Campaign—with a vision of developing an air transportation system that moves people and cargo between places using revolutionary new aircraft that are only just now becoming possible (Source).
*Images are computer generated demo versions. Product is still currently under development.
NASA is also currently researching how AAM can help when disasters strike—assisting in firefighting missions and providing supplies to hard-to-reach areas during an emergency event. This can potentially be an air vehicle that’s used to rescue people trapped in a building or residential area after an earthquake that is otherwise difficult to reach (Source).
The US Air Force launched the Agility Prime program in 2020—a transformative vertical lift program that’s partnering with the commercial eVTOL industry to propel the third revolution in aerospace and start to field a new class of mobility systems by 2023 (Source).
The rest of the world is gearing up as well -- France is already testing electric air taxis with plans to have dedicated flying taxi routes ready in time for the 2024 Olympic Games (Source).

Air-One, the world’s first vertiport (areas designed specifically for eVTOL takeoff/landing) opened in April 2022 in Coventry, U.K., demonstrating the world’s first fully-operational eVTOL hub.
How we're different
The eVTOL market is divided into cargo, personal, and air taxi segments. The air taxi segment includes companies like Joby, Vertical, Lilium, and Archer and although these are potential competitors —to our knowledge, none of these companies have plans to offer their vehicles for personal purchase and use.
The personal segment is further subdivided into 1- and 2-seater categories. 1-seaters typically have an open frame with exposed propellers, have limited range, and are intended for recreational/leisure use. The Doroni H1 falls under the 2-seater + Payload category, and it’s our understanding that our development is ahead of the competition in most cases.
We see the tremendous benefit and value of entering the personal segment under this category: we’re standing at the beginning of a whole new market and we believe that as a US-based company located in the eVTOL hub of Florida, Doroni can become a major industry player.
THE BUSINESS MODEL
Doroni is meeting this inflection point with a personal eVTOL that has multiple use cases across several sectors. Our business model consists of building, selling, and leasing the Doroni H1 eVTOL—generating revenue by specifically targeting emergency response, the military, law enforcement, and the purely recreational sports/leisure segment which includes sustainable tourism. This is in addition to order fulfillment of our LOI preorders from a security company.
We anticipate delivering 1,132 units by our fifth year. Ultimately, we envision the Doroni H1 playing a role in future industry, from automobile manufacturers, to ride share companies, to global defense contractors.
WHY INVEST
*Images are computer generated demo versions. Product is still currently under development.
Customers from all over the country have already joined our waitlist to purchase the H1. The sky's the limit—our first raise proved we could exceed a $1.07 offering max. Now we're back on StartEngine to meet the demand from over 900+ investors and are looking to prove what's possible in our next Reg CF offering.
*Images are computer generated demo versions. Product is still currently under development.
We know democratizing flight with a personal eVTOL is a bold goal, but innovation and excellence are not built on a foundation of small dreams. Doroni has the leadership, passion, and actual technology to create and introduce eVTOLs to the world.
Our goal is no longer science fiction—and we have the working prototype to prove it.
By investing in Doroni, you’re investing in a more sustainable mode of transportation that was designed to help save our ecosystem from the damage done by the antiquated automotive industry.
Join us in redefining transportation as we know it with the Doroni H1.
Doroni is developing a safe, sustainable, and cost-effective Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing Aircraft, or “eVTOL,” that anyone can own, fly, and park in their garage—all you’ll need is a driver’s license and training course to get started. We believe personal eVTOLs are the next paradigm shift in urban transportation, bringing new efficiency to the way we commute, ship goods, and respond to emergencies and natural disasters.

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements. To learn more about Regulation Crowdfunding, click here, and for Regulation A+, click here.
