LONOKE, AR, UNITED STATES, October 10, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- TCB Drones, a Texas-based drone education and professional-services company, has unveiled a comprehensive expansion strategy aimed at connecting drone technology with entrepreneurship and business development. Founded by FAA-certified drone pilot and entrepreneur Steffanie Rivers, the company is stepping up its efforts to support aspiring and existing drone professionals in turning their technical skills into sustainable businesses.
The Next Level Drone Accelerator Program is a key component of TCB Drones' strategy. This program is designed to help drone entrepreneurs build and grow their businesses by providing practical business-development support alongside technical drone education. Topics covered in the accelerator include business positioning, revenue development, sales, relationship building, strategic partnerships, marketing, professional communication, commercial drone opportunities, and business systems. The program aims to complement technical drone education with essential business skills, helping participants understand how to position their services, develop relationships, and prepare for commercial opportunities.
TCB Drones is also organizing the Next Level Drones & Dollars Networking Event, an in-person networking experience that brings together drone professionals, aspiring pilots, entrepreneurs, and business leaders. Attendees will have the opportunity to build relationships, discuss commercial uses for drone technology, explore potential partnerships, and learn about upcoming TCB Drones programs. The event will serve as a platform for the company to introduce its broader vision of connecting education, entrepreneurship, and business development.
In addition to these initiatives, TCB Drones is developing a proposed Market Licensing Program. This program could allow qualified entrepreneurs to operate independently owned businesses using approved TCB Drones branding and intellectual property. The company has identified Savannah, Georgia, as its initial pilot expansion market, with plans to evaluate and refine its market-launch process before pursuing additional territories. The 10 priority states for future outreach and market-development discussions include Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Maryland, Ohio, Illinois, and Pennsylvania.
