The Flyover

One of the best weeks we’ve had at The Flyover. We brought our entire team together from across the country — content, operations, growth, sales — and the biggest win wasn’t a slide or a metric. It was being in the same place, building deeper relationships, and strengthening how we work together. We spent time reflecting on what we accomplished in 2025, why what we’ve built is genuinely different, and how we get better in 2026, with a major focus on what each team can do to protect and strengthen The Flyover brand. Bringing a team like this together is a significant investment. I have no doubt it will pay off. Because at the end of the day, this wasn’t just about us. It was about making sure we’re aligned and focused heading into 2026 so we can better serve our larger Flyover family — our 4 million readers and our growing podcast audience (1 million views/listens last month!) who trust us every day. Grateful for this team and what we’re building together.

The Story Behind The Flyover ✈️ Just over two years ago, The Flyover started as a simple idea at a kitchen table: What if there were a place for fact-first, common-sense daily news — without bias, celebrity spin, or corporate agendas? That idea has grown into one of America’s fastest-growing independent media companies, now reaching more than 3 million readers every day across 11 unique publications and The Flyover Podcast. Our founder, Guy Short, recently shared the full story — how it all began, what drives us, and where we’re headed next. From one cup of coffee to millions of readers, the journey has been incredible — and it’s only just beginning. If you’ve ever wondered who’s behind The Flyover and what’s next for this movement in American media, read our story. https://lnkd.in/gVgx5SQN

Flyover Update! We’re excited to share that The Flyover has now raised over $2 million in our ongoing Regulation CF crowdfunding campaign! In just over one month, more than 1,350 individual investors have joined us (with the average investment topping $1,500). https://lnkd.in/gxKTdKvB And the momentum is still building — another $1.8 million is currently in our investment funnel from funders who have started, but not yet completed, the process. Here’s why so many people are becoming co-owners of The Flyover:    ✅ Reach: Nearly 3 million highly engaged readers  ✅ Expansion: 11 national + state editions, plus a new daily podcast (https://lnkd.in/gEfAcvqQ)  ✅ Profitability: 80% gross margins, 24% net income — top 1% of media start-ups  ✅ Growth: $6M annual run rate in just over two years. At a time when most start-ups fail — and two-thirds never turn a profit — we’re proving that there’s a sustainable, profitable path forward for media. We built The Flyover to cut through the noise, earn readers’ trust, and deliver grounded, honest news to everyday Americans. And we want our readers to help own the future of news with us.

🚀 Big milestone for The Flyover. Two years ago, our team launched The Flyover with a simple idea: deliver smart, trustworthy news to people fed-up with media bias and too often overlooked by legacy news outlets. Today, we are 2.6+ million readers strong (>65% open rates), we’re profitable, and we’re building one of the fastest-growing audiences in the country—among the top 1% of media startups. Now, for the first time, we’re opening the door for readers and supporters to become investors through a Reg CF crowdfunding campaign. 🟡 You can check it out here: 👉 https://lnkd.in/gqQhF-_e While many startups raise capital before they have sold a product or generated revenue, The Flyover has already built a $6 million ARR, with 86% gross margins and 24% net income. That’s rare in media—and almost unheard of in early-stage companies. We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve built so far, but this next chapter is even more exciting. With the help of DealMaker, who have made this process smooth and professional, we’re inviting our community to be part of what’s next. If you're interested in what a profitable, fast-growing media company looks like—I’d love for you to take a look at The Flyover: Where truth takes flight, and readers take ownership. Let’s build this together. – Guy Jacob Leis Cole Strehlow Collin Short #startups #media #crowdfunding #RegCF #TheFlyover #founderjourney In making an investment decision, investors must rely on their own examination of the issuer and the terms of the offering, including the merits and risks involved.
