TALB-Central May Meeting/Luncheon

My name is Ethan and I’m the founder of Sky Senderos. The idea for this company came to me a few years back when I was at my girlfriend’s family’s ranch during a helicopter survey. Seeing that process play out, I knew there had to be a better way to conduct game counts on Texas properties. After a few years of research and experimenting with different drones, we performed our first commercial survey in January 2023. Since then, it’s been a wild ride as what was once an excuse for me to see new parts of this incredible state (and make some extra spending money in my last semester of college) has transformed into the company that Sky Senderos is today.

I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who has supported Sky Senderos and allowed us to achieve our goal of helping landowners across Texas collect more accurate, actionable data about their land and wildlife. While we’ve realized that goal for over 200 landowners across Texas, the little moments during surveys are still the most rewarding part. Whether it’s finding the 10-point that all the lease members thought had died, or confirming a landowner’s suspicion that previous helicopter counts were severely underestimating their wildlife population, the positive effect of each survey for our clients motivates me to keep growing this company.
