Skyqraft added investment from Antler.

Skyqraft, a Stockholm, Sweden-based startup provider of electricity power-line inspection services via drones, announced closing a capital investment round.

The funding was backed by Antler, and included angel investors from Sweden Claes Ekström (partner at Altor Funds) and Tomas Kåberger (professor at the Department of Space at Chalmers University).

Skyqraft, incubated at Antler Stockholm in early 2019 by CEO David Almroth, Sakina Turabali and Umar Chughtai, developed an integrated solution using un-manned aerial vehicles for performing smart inspections safely and efficiently across electrical grid for better grid uptime. The company has pilot projects in place with customers including Eon, two Swedish municipalities and New York Gas and Electric.
