Needs affordable oblique aerial imagery to identify qualifying exterior elevated elements on multifamily buildings across Southern California for lead generation, but current tools are too expensive or lack coverage.

Existing oblique imagery platforms are cost-prohibitive for lead generation ($10k-25k licensing) and free alternatives have patchy coverage on secondary/tertiary streets where target buildings are located.

App Concept

FacadeFinder Pro

A pay-per-area-of-interest oblique imagery platform that uses AI to classify building features (e.g., balconies, walkways) from aerial photos. It offers affordable, on-demand access to current, high-resolution oblique imagery for targeted regions, enabling cost-effective pre-qualification of multifamily buildings for EEE identification.

Key Features

Pay-per-area pricing (e.g., $50 per square mile) with no annual commitment
AI-powered detection of exterior elevated elements from oblique imagery
Coverage of secondary/tertiary streets via custom flight scheduling
Integration with property APIs to overlay assessor data and generate lead lists

Target Users: Property inspectors, building contractors, and lead generation specialists in property management and construction industries, targeting small-to-medium businesses operating in urban/suburban regions.

Revenue Model: Pay-per-view credits ($0.50 per property view) or area-based subscription ($99/mo for 10 sq mi), with premium AI analysis add-ons.
