Joined by Alec Wilson, COO of Spexi, we learned about where drone technology meets blockchain data. Spexi is the first to image entire cities using drones while staying within regulations. Its network has flown thousands of missions, capturing over three million acres in Canada and the United States. Governments and municipalities are then able to use this data for emergency services, city planning, and more.
“It’s a combination of blockchain on the verification and incentivization, but really the exciting thing is the amount of use cases that come out of data like that,” says Wilson.
With less than 30 users on its testnet over the last year, Spexi saw over seven figures in revenue. There are stringent tech requirements, so Spexi likely isn’t for your average drone user, but there is plenty of opportunity for those who are willing to start mapping.
Spexi is a Canadian-based drone imaging company using a decentralized network of sub-250g drones to capture ultra-high-resolution aerial data. With over 50,000 missions completed across North America and beyond, Spexi delivers imagery 900x more detailed than satellites, serving industries like infrastructure, insurance, and smart cities. Backed by $11.5M in Series A funding, Spexi is expanding its Fly-to-Earn model to scale real-time, high-fidelity geospatial data collection.
