George Matus is one of the biggest innovators of commercial and military Drone use. He created his first drone at only the age of 12, and by 16 he founded Teal Drones, which is a multimillion-dollar company which was the first of its kind to develop a stable flying quadcopter which could fly 70+mph. George is driven by his love for drones and seeing a gap in technology. He has a vision for the future, and he believes he can fix it and be a part of the future. This can be seen by his decision to start building drones for the military. His business model capitalizes on different wants than what current technology can provide. He focuses on making fast and inexpensive drones. So, he has a small section he works in, but this section is one of the biggest and most important as the military is interested in this sector. This makes him a great entrepreneur, because he recognized that on a consumer level he was outmatched by other companies and would be stomped out. So, he shifted and found a new niche in the military and unmanned drones. This shows his ability to adapt to new circumstances and to flow with the market. He focuses on finding ways to mass produce his drones while maintaining the quality. Teal Drones are innovating by working on cheap IR drones in order to spot and identify targets from a remote location for the military. This would benefit the military by allowing them to avoid using large, bulky, and slow drones that could alert the enemy to their presence, thereby minimizing the risk of escalating tensions. Smaller, more agile drones can enhance stealth and improve reconnaissance capabilities, making operations more efficient and less detectable. Personally, his ability to adapt and find his niche is my favorite part of George Matus. Even though his invention is similar to others he modified it to fit the specific need of the military and now has a multimillion-dollar contract with them for only altering minute details. This is inspiring as my own idea has its own unique field and I can draw a lot of parallels from his struggles of big corporations to his niche search. I have learned a lot about the ability to adapt and to find your own spot in the market. This is the most valuable advice I’ve received surrounding entrepreneurship as it makes me be flexible and listen to many different ideas.
