Managed online marketplace connecting FAA-licensed drone pilots with clients needing aerial data for surveying, mapping, and digital media.
Based in Lafayette, Louisiana, FlyGuys operates a managed online marketplace that connects enterprise clients with independent drone pilots for aerial data collection, surveying, and digital media mapping. Operating a scalable business model similar to Uber, the platform utilizes proprietary AI-agnostic software to match supply and demand across the oil and gas, construction, and real estate sectors without requiring the company to own the equipment. The organization manages a nationwide network of over 14,000 Federal Aviation Administration-licensed pilots and recently secured a $2 million investment from Advantage Capital to expand its LiDAR capabilities. Under the leadership of chief executive officer Joe Stough, the company increased its annual revenue from $3.9 million in 2023 to $10 million in 2024, with projections to reach $20 million next year.
