The startup, which officially launched in San Francisco in late March, lets people who need to ship something simply request a “Shyp hero” (read: friendly person that will do the errand for you) to come pick up their items for a small $5 fee. Airphrame, aerial imagery provider and drone creator just secure $4.2 million in startup funds, according to an SEC filing dated for today.
