• Market & Competition

Texas's explosive growth creates ideal conditions for drone services:

Population ~32.4M in 2026 (projected to 42.6M by 2060 via migration) fuels a real estate and construction boom. Texas leads the U.S. in housing permits, driving demand for drones in aerial surveying, inspections, and progress monitoring.
2026 FIFA World Cup hosting in Dallas & Houston triggers FEMA’s $250M federal C-UAS grant (prioritized for Texas and 10 other host states) for drone detection/mitigation to secure venues from aerial threats.

Estimated 100–300 pro drone businesses in Texas—mostly single-operator outfits weak on marketing and business skills for corporate clients—leaving ample room for differentiated, high-value services targeting real estate, construction, and enterprise accounts.

• Growth & Expansion Opportunities

Counter-UAS for National Security: Tap into ~$250M federal funding unlocked by the World Cup for high-value counter-drone contracts with law enforcement, venues, and infrastructure.
LinkedIn Advertising: Targeted ads to decision-makers in real estate, construction, energy, and government to generate premium enterprise leads.
