When new technology emerges, the biggest winners aren’t the headline watchers or the reluctant investors. Rather, it’s those who already control the infrastructure when that technology becomes mainstream who profit most.
The next major infrastructure wave? Advanced air mobility. It’s not a matter of if, but when private aircraft become the next popular mode of travel in the United States, and Lisa Wright, founder of Landings, will be waiting at the runway when it arrives.
With decades of experience as a commercial real estate architect, Lisa is asking the question most people aren’t thinking of just yet: where will these aircraft actually land?
As an early adopter, Lisa’s company is currently in a race to develop over 2,000 vertiport sites over the next five years. With little more than angel investments and bootstrapping, her team has already secured two-year land lease options throughout many rural communities where these amenities are likely to appear.
In today’s conversation, Lisa shares the strategy that has helped her stay fluid without major capital raises, her long-term vision for building out a coast-to-coast vertiport network, and the revenue-share model that gives landowners an almost irresistible investing opportunity.
Insights from today’s episode:
- Lisa’s five-year plan for developing a 2,000-site vertiport network
- How early adopters of advanced air mobility stand to profit in the years ahead
