Spexi Geospatial Inc., the company behind Spexigon, got its start in 2017. We began by building a SaaS platform to enable organizations to collect drone imagery using their own drones and pilots.
Now with Spexigon, our mission is to democratize access to high resolution Earth imagery.
By enabling drone pilots to easily contribute imagery from wherever they are, it is our hope that we can power better and more informed decision making by organizations world wide.
With over 20 years of experience in geospatial imagery and having previously lead and exited two aerial imagery firms, Bill brings unique experience & perspective to the main leadership role.
As s former professional helicopter pilot and co-founder of the largest drone training company in Canada, Alec is uniquely qualified to head up our operations.
With over 15 years in web development & mobile app development, Peter leads our dev team.
With deep expertise in financial oversight and compliance, Emily is leading the charge to ensure our company’s internal controls, risk management, performance and accountability are a priority by championing good stewardship throughout the organization.
Combine 17+ years in digital advertising with a fascination for blockchain & community building and you have our CMO, Adam.
Some example use cases include:
And the list goes on… At the end of the day, the high resolution imagery pilots collect with drones will be used by data buyers to make better decisions about real world physical assets. With better, more frequently refreshed data, people and organizations will be able to save time and money and reduce their impact on the environment (less need to drive to a job site for example if you can simply view the site online and inspect it remotely.)
In Q3 of 2023 pilots will be able to begin flying in parts of Canada. We'll be working to open up additional areas around the world as soon as we can from there.
All pilots are responsible for ensuring they follow their local rules and regulations regarding drone pilot certificates, insurance, etc. Many jurisdictions around the world do not require drone pilot certificates/licenses for drones which weigh under 250g, however some do.
Other more localized rules and bylaws exist that pilots should familiarize themselves with before commencing flights in their regions.
All pilots who choose to fly on Spexigon will have the opportunity to undertake free training online which highlights best practices for safe flight, efficient data collection, and Spexigon platform functionality.
Spexigon will initially be standardizing on the sub-250g class of drone, specifically the DJI Mini 2 to start. In time, additional drone models will be approved to work on the platform.
When the Spexigon app launches, pilots will be able to earn points for collecting & uploading imagery to the platform. In time, points will be capable of being used on the platform for a variety of purposes.
Spexigon is also currently considering adopting a rewards based model where pilots might earn tokens that would be redeemable or used as consideration for goods and services offered on the Spexigon platform in the future, and it is possible that such tokens (when and if issued) may have a value on the open market. If and when the company adopts a token rewards model and the market establishes a price for the token, the current intention is that pilots will be able to use the app to see open Spexigons (hexagonal zones on a map) in your area that are ready to be flown & their value in terms of token rewards.
If the token rewards model is adopted by the company, it is currently intended that your reward earning potential will depend on the time you have to fly Spexigons, the number of open Spexigons in your area, and how often the platform needs those Spexigons to be flown.
Spexigons are hexagonal zones that overlay a map of the earth inside the Spexigon app in order to show where imagery needs to be collected.
Each Spexigon contains flight plan information that the drones use (combined with the Spexigon mobile app) to ensure they are flying at the correct height, speed, and location to capture the best imagery possible.
The Spexigon system serves as a method of standardization. The most challenging aspect of working with high-resolution drone imagery is the capture process. By standardizing this process, ensuring it is the same everywhere on Earth, and combining it with a crypto-economic incentive model, Spexigon will capture imagery in a similar fashion to how satellites capture imagery from space.
Spexigon will sell access to the imagery collected to organizations in industries where decisions need to be made about real world assets & infrastructure.
Spexigon imagery is captured at resolutions which prevent personally identifiable information from being detected.
Spexigon will also adhere to regional privacy standards in regards to treatment of Earth observation imagery.
Spexigon regards safety as a top priority. There are three main areas where deliberate design decisions have been made to facilitate safe operations:

With 20+ years working in aerial data acquisition, processing and delivery with multiple successful exits, Bill is the ideal person to lead Spexi into this exciting new chapter. Spexi system users, customers, and investors can rest assured that aerial data produced under Bill's watch will be of the highest quality and value.
