Drone Racing League CEO Nicholas Horbaczewski joins Forbes senior writer Jabari Young at the Nasdaq MarketSite to discuss the business of racing drones and update the status of the Generation Z sports startup.<br/><br/>Founded in 2015, Drone Racing League, or DRL, is a sports technology and entertainment startup that hosts yearly tournaments where drone pilots compete for a cash prize.
