Perspective Robotics AG, which makes the Fotokite tethered drones for photographers and firefighters, won investment from Credit Suisse Entrepreneur Capital Ltd to support its growth and create local jobs. The amount of funding wasn't disclosed.

"This investment will help Fotokite shape everyday public safety operations and support the industry's mission to save lives and preserve property,” Christopher McCall, Fotokite's chief executive said in an emailed statement.

Zurich-based Fotokite ranked at the TOP 100 Swiss Startup Award in 2017 and 2018, and McCall was a winner of Venture Leaders Technology last year.
