Own The Flyover

From the Founder’s Desk:
Why I Want The Flyover Readers to Own The Flyover


When I decided to accept investors in The Flyover, one thing mattered to me more than anything: that our readers would have the chance to become our owners. If I had my druthers, every single investor in The Flyover would be a Flyover reader. That’s why we’ve structured this offering with you in mind:

  • 5% bonus shares for all Flyover readers who invest

  • An additional 5% bonus for those investing in our current round from $1M to $2M

Legally, the offering is open to any U.S. citizen. But my heart—and our strategy—are focused on keeping ownership in the hands of our readers. Right now, we’re less than $130,000 away from hitting $2 million raised. Once we cross that mark, the extra 5% bonus goes away.

That’s why I’m asking our readers one more time: will you consider investing in The Flyover today?

But some of our readers are asking: “How do I get a return on my investment?”

Here’s why The Flyover is different:

  • Already profitable after just two years (most start-ups never are)
  • 80% gross margins and 24% net income (exceptional margins)
  • In the top 1% of media start-ups (proven strength)

How investors could realize returns:

  1. A Sale – Only to a partner who shares our values. (CNN or the New York Times need not apply.)

  2. Public Listing – Shares traded openly on an exchange.

  3. Profit Distributions (Dividends) – Because we’re already profitable, this is possible.

Recap: Sale. Listing. Distributions.

My Closing Pitch

More than 1,225 Flyover readers have already joined us as investors. We’re just $130K away from our next milestone—and once we hit it, the chance at 10% bonus shares drops to 5%.  If you’ve been considering investing, now is the moment. Let’s finish this round together and make The Flyover a news company truly owned by its readers.
 
Will you be one of the investors who help us keep The Flyover reader-owned?

Article Icon 1Kirk’s Impact Extended to Georgia

Georgia leaders condemned the assassination of conservative activist and Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk, who was shot at a college event on Wednesday in Utah.

Kirk, 31, was known for championing campus debate and youth political engagement, and Turning Point USA has a large following in Georgia. Students said they were shocked by his assassination.

Kirk last spoke in the state at an October 2024 rally in Duluth in support of Donald Trump’s presidential run.

Gov. Brian Kemp directed that flags at state buildings fly at half-staff through Sunday in Kirk’s memory.

No. 6 Georgia will hit the road this weekend for a pivotal SEC showdown with No. 15 Tennessee, with both teams 2-0.

Georgia enters as a 3.5-point favorite, despite offensive struggles and the game serving as the first true road start for quarterback Gunner Stockton. Game simulations favor Georgia.

Tennessee, battling injuries to key defensive backs, will lean on a strong run game and its fans’ energy.

The matchup will impact conference championship and postseason hopes for both teams. The kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. Saturday at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Three Georgia Lottery players struck it big this week, winning a combined $5.5 million from scratch-off tickets.

A Warner Robins resident claimed $2.5 million from a Millionaire Jumbo Bucks ticket, while a Lexington player took home $2 million from a $2 Million Dollar Multiplier ticket.

A Perry resident scored $1 million playing 2nd Edition Billionaire Club and chose the lump-sum payout of $535,398.

Proceeds from Georgia Lottery games support education programs such as HOPE college scholarships and pre-kindergarten programs.
