The order I built a drone company in
Month by month, what I did first, second, and third, with what each step actually cost. Free, and no, it will not tell you how to make fifty thousand dollars a month.
I am Adam Pierce. I am an FAA Part 107 pilot and a service-disabled veteran, and I run Sentinel Aerial Inspections in Hampton Roads, Virginia. I built it alone, around a household, with an office staffed by AI agents instead of employees.
I wrote down every step, every dollar, and every thing that broke, from day one. This checklist is that record, condensed to a few pages.
- The decision that comes before you buy any aircraft
- What the first year cost me, month by month, from a real ledger
- The order I did it in: legal, certificate, insurance, first dollar, first hire
- What broke, including the repair bill ten days in
