We’ve trained more than 66,500 drone pilots, mentored over 1,000 business owners, and built and sold two $Million+ drone ventures.

Across all that experience, we kept seeing the same three problems holding people back:

1. “The industry is saturated; it’s impossible to make money now.”

2. “I don’t know how to start, build, or grow a drone business that lasts.”

3. “There’s nobody connecting the dots... There's no central hub to raise the standard.”

That’s why we created the Drone Business Network (DBN).

 Our mission is simple: raise the standard, help operators become true business owners, and unite the drone industry into a global movement.

If you’re serious about drones, you belong. Here.

Matt Williams - Founder, Combat Pilot, Business Mentor.

DBN Founder, Matt Williams has been building businesses from an early age.

At just 12 years old, he launched an IT company, which he successfully exited by the time he was 17, using the capital from the sale to move from the UK to Florida to get his Pilot's License and hours-build towards an aviation career.

At 19, he joined the Royal Air Force, becoming a combat veteran who has flown on operations all over the world in support of US and UK Special Forces. Ultimately, becoming the youngest helicopter instructor in the RAF at just 26 years old.

After leaving the military in 2014, he founded UAVHub, which grew into the world’s largest drone training school. Under Matt's leadership, the school trained more than 66,500 students all over the world, generating 8-figure revenues, and earning 6,500+ 5-star reviews before its successful sale in 2024.

Beyond training, Matt has flown heavy-lift drones for Hollywood productions and global sports broadcasts, he's flown drone inspections and 3D mapping missions all over the world... From the deserts of Morocco to the peaks of the Andes in Peru.

He's personally coached and mentored 1,000+ drone business owners, and he's built and sold two $Million+ aviation businesses from scratch.

Now, through the Drone Business Network, Matt’s mission is to give drone entrepreneurs the head start he wishes he’d had...

Compressing 15+ years of hard-won lessons into simple, easy to follow strategies, community, and mentorship that shortcut the painful trial-and-error that seems to be the way most people start out in the Drone Industry.
