Less Than Four Days Left to Invest in The Flyover

In four days, our investment window will be closed.

Not next month.
Not "sometime soon."
Four days.

So instead of telling you why we think you should invest in The Flyover, we'll do something different.

Here are the Top 4 Reasons to Invest—starting with one we didn't write ourselves.


1. ChatGPT Picked This Reason (Seriously)

When we asked ChatGPT (AI) why someone should invest in The Flyover, here is what it said.

It didn't talk about hype or buzz. It pointed to something rare:

A fast-growing, profitable, reader-first media company—built outside legacy media, without billionaire-corporate backing, and owned by its audience.

That's not marketing fluff. That's an objective read of our business.


2. A New Media Startup—But Actually Different

Most "new media" companies:

  • Lose money
  • Chase clicks
  • Depend on venture capital
  • Answer to advertisers first

The Flyover is profitable, growing, and reader-owned. We focus on trust, clarity, and consistency, not outrage or algorithms.

This combination is rare. And it's working.


3. Join a Movement to Fix What's Broken

Americans don't trust the news and for good reason.

Legacy media has:

  • Chosen narratives over facts
  • Divided audiences for attention
  • Optimized for outrage instead of understanding

The Flyover exists to change that. We deliver fact-first, unbiased news to millions of readers who want information, not indoctrination.

This isn't just an investment. It's a vote for a better media model.


4. There's Only Room for Less Than 400 Final Investors

This part is simple math.

We're about 88% full. That leaves fewer than 400 spots before the round closes. Permanently.

When it's full, it's full. No extensions. No waitlist guarantees.

If you've been thinking, watching, or meaning to "circle back"—now is the moment.


✈️ Final Boarding Call

Four days left.
Fewer than 400 spots.
A profitable, growing media company changing how Americans consume news.

Invest in The Flyover before the window closes.

Article Icon 1Another Winter Storm Forecast

More freezing temperatures and another weekend of possible ice and snow are in the forecast for Georgia and much of the Southeast.

Forecasters are monitoring a coastal storm system that could bring additional winter precipitation to parts of the state later this week.

As early as Friday, precipitation could begin along the Gulf Coast before spreading to Georgia and other states, according to AccuWeather meteorologists.

On Saturday, temperatures in North Georgia are expected to stay below freezing, extending the frigid conditions that are keeping ice on the ground from this past weekend's storm.

Article Icon 1 Court Upholds Election Reforms

A federal appeals court rejected a challenge to Georgia's 2021 election reforms that allow increased state oversight of local elections and a ban on photography at polling places.

The ruling by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals is the latest decision that supports changes made by Georgia in response to election integrity concerns related to the 2020 election.

The ruling addressed parts of Senate Bill 202, including a provision that allows the State Election Board to intervene if problems are alleged in county election operations.

Other parts of the law limit drop boxes, require additional forms of ID for absentee voting, prevent mass mailings of absentee ballot applications, and ban handing out food and water to voters waiting in line.

Article Icon 1List Shows Top Paid State Employees

Open Georgia released its list of Georgia's highest-paid state government employees for last year, topped by the head of the Georgia Ports Authority at a salary of $1.49 million.

Next were two top executives of the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia, with the chief information officer at $957,073 and the investment co-chief at $811,651.

The list does not include college coaches. A report on University of Georgia salaries showed football head coach Kirby Smart led that list with $13.8 million.

Overall, 2025 salary data show that coaches and administrators at state universities dominate upper-tier government compensation. You can access Open Georgia salary data here.
