Niche: Is it a bird? Is it a plane? It’s a DroneDash. With the arrival of big companies such as Amazon, Ebay the online purchase and deliveries have been a lot quicker than before. Someday’s it feels easier to simply order from amazon rather than going to a store and purchasing. With this change there has been a big decrease in people doing the shopping from local vendors and local stores. Our service provides a platform for people to enjoy goods from local stores or vendors and also get the convenience of having it delivered to their doorstep.

Other Companies: Doordash, Grubhub, UberEats, Google Wing, Amazon Flex

· Why they aren’t providing our product/service

· It is costly, cannot deliver packages that weighs more

· still needs a lot of market research, They haven’t figured out how to safely land the packages.

· The FAA mandates that companies obtain airborne approvals from their city authorities.

· Security:drones can be hacked, weather, privacy, it can be stolen

· The economics of the aviation sector are driven by legislation and safety.

· Contrast

The reason that these companies are not providing drone delivery services are :

· It is a fairly new concept: there are no standards and jurisdiction that could be followed.

· FAA Regulation, Federal & State Laws and approvals being tailored for drone delivery.

· Companies might have to follow certain rules and regulations to operate those drones and since

· It may require more consumer data which may have greater risk in privacy.
