Is the barrier to entry on these drone show companies…. Big?

Obviously startup capital and marketing is one this

But to be able to use the software that directs these things, knowing how to make it all tick…. what’s the learning curve on these businesses because I love watching them and would love to sell these events.

If anyone has any references on this industry please let me know.

Thanks!

I know that it will be licensed intensively as well. Depending on where you are. I believe the FAA has oem licensing, but also local municipal/ police/ FBI have divisions that monitor during holidays or events in big cities. I guess it really depends where you are.

It does sound cool though. If it could be you and I assume you need a box truck. I guess, You could even run it with out a facility? Mobil- Generator charging setup & a truck.it does sound like it could really run into some numbers on the initial investment. I don't know factually, but I assume you can't run 40/80 drones off your iPhone. You're gonna need some kind of cellular transmitter device & laptops/ software.

It does sound cool. The only issue I see is your customer base and cyclical sales. New business promotions, holiday events, gender reveals, and corporate clients, I guess also holidays memorial Day, 4 th of July, Halloween, Christmas, thanksgiving.

I guess you need some yearly type show with big outfits and then Fill in the rest of the year.

I made a business plan for it. This needs a lot of capital...

The kind of capital that needs a massive bank loan?
