FlyGuys

FlyGuys is a drone-services company founded in 2014 and headquartered at 221 Jefferson Street in Lafayette, Louisiana. Rather than manufacturing drones, FlyGuys operates a nationwide marketplace and coordination platform that connects organizations needing aerial data to a distributed network of FAA-certified drone pilots it calls data-capturers. Clients submit a job through FlyGuys' proprietary software, the platform matches it to a local pilot from its national network, and the pilot captures imagery, video, thermal scans or LiDAR data that is processed and delivered back through FlyGuys' pipeline. Core service lines include aerial photography and video, thermal imaging, LiDAR scanning for surveying and mapping, volumetric measurement for stockpile and material-quantity estimation, and drone-based inspections of roofs, cell towers, wind turbines, and electrical transmission and distribution infrastructure. The company also provides consulting services to help organizations stand up in-house drone programs, including guidance on FAA regulatory compliance, as well as broadcast-quality aerial video production for marketing use. Industries served include construction, agriculture, energy and utilities, insurance claims, real estate, mining, and emergency and disaster response; in August 2026 FlyGuys partnered with TerraFort to provide rapid drone-based building-damage assessment following disasters. The company is led by CEO Adam Zayor and, according to a mid-2026 employer-profile snapshot, has approximately 106 employees -- a headcount that reflects its role as a technology and coordination layer over a much larger distributed pilot network rather than a company that owns and operates its own drone fleet as a capital asset. FlyGuys describes its mission as connecting data-seekers to professional data-capturers so customers can make more informed decisions at an affordable cost compared with traditional manned aerial survey or satellite imagery. The company can be reached by phone at 1-888-837-0940 and maintains active Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram and X accounts. Because FlyGuys sells access to a distributed network of independent drone operators rather than manufacturing or directly deploying its own robotic hardware, its business model most closely matches a drone-data-as-a-service provider serving construction, energy, insurance and agricultural clients across the United States.
