What a weekend!

Since extending our campaign on Wednesday, we've seen over $150,000 come in through new investments!  That is over $30,000 per day!  

In our five-year history of crowdfunding, this is the fastest we've ever seen new investments come in.  We are humbled and can't thank our investors enough!  

In other news, our CEO, JD Claridge took part in StartEngine's Founder's Summit in San Fransisco, CA.  

The Summit was an opportunity to socialize the benefits of equity crowdfunding and network with other founders who are considering taking the plunge.  JD was joined by Parallel Flight Technologies Joshua Resnick- another awesome drone company raising funds on StartEngine.

Let's keep the momentum building!  If you've already invested, tell your friends and family about this incredible drone company.  If you haven't invested, now is the time!

Cheers,

-Team xCraft

Investors and Friends,

Big news!  To allow more investors to participate, xCraft has increased our maximum funding goal to $1,070,000! This is the maximum amount allowed by the regulations.  We've raised this much before and we're on track to do it again! 

In only a few hours since extending the campaign, we've already added almost $60,000 in new investments! At this rate, it won't take long to hit the maximum once again!

Thank you to all who have helped make this happen! If you haven't already, please reconfirm your investments by following the link in your email.

Business has been strong at xCraft.  We had an incredible response to our Black Friday Sale!  The crew has been "all hands on deck" fulfilling orders the past two weeks.  Hard work but well worth it!  Cashflow is the lifeblood of any business. 

If you're not already an investor, we'd love to see your name on the list.  Now would be the perfect time to make the leap!  

Let's change the world together!

Hello! Recently, a change was made to the xCraft offering. Here's an excerpt describing the specifics of the change:

xCraft has increased their maximum funding goal, updated their use of proceeds, added a director and extended their campaign.

When live offerings undergo changes like these on StartEngine, the SEC requires that certain investments be reconfirmed. If your investment requires reconfirmation, you will be contacted by StartEngine via email with further instructions.

Hello Friends!

We've still been up to good things here at xCraft.  In addition to bringing Burt Rutan on board, we just "soft-launched" a brand new product, The Maverick!

The Maverick is a fully-autonomous, American-built drone.  It includes all the features you would expect including 4K camera, 25-minute flight time, and obstacle avoidance (available soon).  

We also offer some really interesting "add-ons" to enhance capability that mount to the Maverick's "Picatinny rail".  These include a mapping camera, a spotlight, a release mechanism, and a loudspeaker. The best news is that the Maverick starts at only $999!  

Check it out here

Also, if you have still not committed an investment, we recommend getting on the waitlist because in the event investments fail or spaces open up, we will be able to bring people off of the waitlist on a first come first serve basis.

Thanks so much for all of your support.  We're excited to see where the future (and our investors) will take us!

    xCraft Enterprises, a manufacturer of purpose-designed drone systems which gained fame with a deal on ABC’s Shark Tank, has announced the appointment of legendary aviation and space pioneer Burt Rutan to its Board of Directors. Rutan, a world-renowned aeronautical engineer will provide expertise in the design, prototyping and production of xCraft flying robots for commercial, industrial and defense applications.

    “We are honored to welcome Mr. Rutan to the xCraft Team,” said JD Claridge, CEO and co-founder of the company. “He will be an incredible asset in advancing our autonomous flight technology and assisting to expand our product line to address specific needs of commercial customers and our U.S. government organizations. He particularly shares our vision for applying our technology to disrupt transportation as we know it.”

    After accepting xCraft’s offer to serve on the Board of Directors, Mr. Rutan said: “I’m looking forward to advising xCraft’s innovative team during a period of rapid expansion in our country’s use of autonomous flight systems and in the emerging urban air mobility space.  My philosophy is that the best ideas come from the collaborative efforts of small, closely knit project teams in an environment unlimited by risk fears - and I will assist xCraft’s leadership to ensure we are a best-idea-factory.”

    “With the addition of Burt to our board, and the November product launch of our new quad-rotor, the Maverick, xCraft is taking big steps toward realizing our longer-term objectives,” Claridge offered in closing.

    About Burt Rutan: As the founder of two aircraft research firms, the most aggressive aerospace research companies in the world, Mr. Rutan has developed a large variety of groundbreaking projects, showcasing some of the most innovative and energy-efficient designs ever flown. Time named him one of the top 100 most influential people of 2005. Described by Newsweek as “the man responsible for more innovations in modern aviation than any living engineer,” Burt Rutan is an aircraft designer with a vision for the advancement of technology.  In 2004, Mr. Rutan joined a highly distinguished company of innovators as the designer/developer of SpaceShipOne, the world’s first privately built manned spacecraft to reach space.  The research program was funded by Paul Allen.  He won the $10 million Ansari X Prize, the competition created to spur the development of affordable space tourism.  Mr. Rutan is the winner of the Presidential Citizen’s Medal, the Charles A. Lindbergh Award, and is a two-time individual winner of the Robert J. Collier Trophy, given by the National Aeronautic Association for significant advances in aviation history.  He is the only one alive with two Colliers. Mr. Rutan designed/developed the Voyager, the first aircraft to circle the world non-stop without refueling. Repeating that feat, his company developed the GlobalFlyer, which broke the Voyager’s record time for a non-refueled, solo flight around the world. Those aircraft remain the only ones with non-refueled world flight capability and they had to more than double the range of previous record holders.  His company also developed the Ultralite, an all-composite 100 mile-per-gallon show car for general Motors.  

    xCraft Enterprises is America’s drone company.  Based in Idaho, xCraft designs and manufactures customized flying robots for enterprise and military segments.  xCraft partners with companies in defense, energy, security, public safety, and geo-spatial markets to develop tailored applications that solve real-world problems.

We are still making great progress! Almost halfway to our maximum goal of $535,000.  Thank you!

We wanted to share some interesting news with our investors.  A couple weeks ago, xCraft took part in a search and rescue effort for a missing tourist in the San Diego area.  We were able to use our x2Q drone to cover more than 10 times the search area than a traditional drone.  The x2Q is a real game-changer in search and rescue!

Please check out the news release on this event:

There's something thrilling about breaking a barrier.  Over the weekend, xCraft's campaign topped the $200,000 mark!

You guys are awesome!  We've seen tremendous growth in the last week - pushing $150,000!  What a great way to start 2019.  To all our new investors, welcome and thank you!  

Now, let's see how quickly we can reach the $200,000 milestone.

To help inspire, here's a couple videos from our Tyler, Texas First iZ Installation:

As you have likely seen, xCraft has extended our campaign by another 60 days.  We wanted to make sure everyone has an opportunity to invest.  The acceleration trend has continued.  We've just crossed the $90,000 mark and are well on our way to $100,000!

We wanted to give our investors a sneak peak into a project we've been working in the background.  It's the latest in our "x2" series -we're calling it the x2Q.  

This version incorporates four motors instead of three - hence the "Q" for Quad.  It is even more stable in hover and has a larger payload than the x2 Pro.  Here's a quick video of a prototype in action:

Let's keep the campaign flying!

Big news from xCraft!  Last week, we were able to deliver our second First iZ drone and port to Fire Station #9 in Tyler, Texas!  

This is a monumental achievement and we couldn't be more proud of the team for hitting the milestone - and on time!  Now begins 12 months of testing and refinement before "going live" responding to actual emergency calls.  This is just the beginning.  Many more First iZ installations are already planned for next year.

For those of you who are unaware of the First iZ project, it's a powerful first responder UAV system that will show up on the scene of an emergency call before first responders arrive, giving them valuable information from the scene.  This will help them respond smarter and will ultimately save lives!

Here's a couple press links of the occasion:
