Today's episode is about drone business. Can you build a drone business by simply offering processing services to mapping companies? How do you find clients for such a business?

Our caller, Tyler from Ontario is wondering if there is a market for processing mapping imagery. Would there be mapping companies doing the data acquisition in house, and outsourcing the processing? We touch upon various aspects of drone business such as mapping software and different outsourcing platforms in order to answer his question.

You will discover if learning Pix4D alone with suffice for such a drone business. We also discuss some outsourcing platforms that are your best bets for finding clients.
