Zero Zero Robotics reaches $1 billion valuation
The manufacturer of HOVERAir autonomous flying cameras has reportedly secured a $1 billion valuation following its latest capital injection.
Zero Zero Robotics, a Beijing-based drone manufacturer, has attained unicorn status with a reported valuation of $1 billion. The development follows a series of successful financing rounds, including Series D and D-plus funding, backed by investors such as Boyu Capital, Xiang He Capital, Delian Capital, and an affiliate of Ant Group.
Founded in 2014 by a team of Stanford graduates, the firm focuses on the consumer drone market with its HOVERAir series. Unlike traditional remotely piloted aircraft, these devices are designed to launch from the user's palm and utilize autonomous flight tracking to capture video footage.
Market reports suggest the company is experiencing significant commercial growth, with estimates projecting fourth-quarter revenue between RMB 600 million and RMB 700 million. This financial trajectory underscores the rising consumer demand for simplified, automated aerial photography equipment that does not require manual flight expertise.
