The Lean Startup principles applied to a drone company. 🚀
Want to know how do you start a company in an emerging market and get acquired after 2 years ?
In this episode I talk to Johann Neethling from Neo Precision (Pty) Ltd, a drone service provider in South Africa who specializes in geology, mapping and mining.🌐

Johann started his drone company as a natural extension to his geology activities.
It’s a living proof that you can still start a new business, keep your head down , do the work and come out with a great result.
I really enjoyed talking with Johann and I am happy to share this episode with you.

I’m pleased to announce yet another great podcast of our #DroneBusinessTalk!

How do you keep up with your paperwork and the safety of your team in a highly regulated and compliance-driven field?

That is one of the topics our guests of today’s Drone Business Talk-podcast are discussing. We proudly present CEO Robin Kock and CFO Vincent Sepeng of Premier Mapping Africa, THE survey company in Southern Africa, and one of the pioneers of the UAV industry.

These guys have been experimenting with drones - think Hasselblad cameras attached to weather balloons to do photogrammetric mapping - as early as 1983 (!). Their innovative mindset has led them to have about 6 or 7 aircrafts in the air today, daily, flying multiple missions.

Learn from the best as they discuss UAV data management, fixed wing drones and LiDAR technology!
