The company was founded in 2014 with the vision of providing software-driven, drone-based autonomous solutions for industrial sites.[7][8]

Raised $11.5M seed funding on June 1, 2017, [9] and raised $15M Series A funding,on May 22, 2019.[10][11]

It was the first to Pass level 5 Hurricane Testing - Most Durable Drone-in-a-Box, on July 21, 2020.[12]

In November 2020, Percepto raised $45 million in Series B funding, led by Koch Disruptive Technologies (KDT) and with the participation of USVP and Spider Capital, as well as State of Mind Ventures, Atento Capital, Summit Peak Investments, and Delek US. This brought the total investment in the company to $72.5 million.[13]

  • Percepto Air Mobile is a much lighter system both the drone and the Base. It can be easily mounted on a pickup truck and be moved from one location to another- so it’s truly a mobile drone: move from one site to another, or in the case of a very big site- move between locations on the site.[33]
