Dexa selected for TechCrunch Startup Battlefield 200

Dexa, a drone delivery operator based in Dayton, Ohio, has been selected for the TechCrunch Startup Battlefield 200. The company will participate in the Disrupt conference in San Francisco from October 13 to 15, 2026.

As part of the logistics and supply chain cohort, Dexa will exhibit its autonomous aerial logistics platform and pitch to investors and industry leaders. The competition features 200 companies selected from thousands of global applications, with twenty finalists competing for the Disrupt Cup and a $100,000 equity-free prize.

Unlike many software-focused startups in the cohort, Dexa operates as a certified air carrier. The company holds an FAA Part 135 certificate, allowing it to fly cargo for compensation in the United States, along with a waiver for beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations.
