A few customers listed here: Delta Drone, Drone America.
Sounds like the market didn't want or need a $2500/yr/drone software package for automating flights/data retrieval/storage. And there's simply no competing at the hardware level with DJI, even with $118M in funding.
"Across all prices in North America, DJI represented 50 percent of the market, Snow says. The price range where DJI is not dominant is drones under $500, which are mostly toys, and where there are hundreds of companies competing." [1]
There's money to be made in industrial (non-warfare) drones - but not as much as everyone thinks, and competition is really tough.
