iTWire - Australian drone planting firm attracts big US investor

Lord of the Trees has developed a system using precision drone technology, AI and proprietary seed pods to restore ecosystems. Up to 400,000 seed pods can be planted in 12 hours, improving the chance of success. US billionaire Tim Draper – founder and managing partner of Draper Associates – was an investor in PayPal and also backed Tesla, SpaceX, Twitter, Skype and Hotmail. "For ages I had been wanting to invest in a company that's truly committed to planet regeneration, and then I found Lord of the Trees! I was thrilled by their simple technological solution and innovative business model, plus their commitment to meet the growing needs of carbon reduction across the globe," said Draper.
