Dear Flyover Reader,

As we head into the final days of the year, I wanted to reach out to you personally.

Just a few months ago, we made a deliberate decision at The Flyover: to open ownership to a small, special group of our readers. People who don’t just skim headlines, but care deeply about where the news is headed in this country.

This opportunity won’t last much longer.

We have three days left in 2025, and our current investment round is scheduled to close next month. Once it does, that door closes for good.

I know decisions like this don’t happen lightly. But if you’ve been watching from the sidelines, wondering whether to step in, I want you to know—this is the moment.

Three days from now, the year ends.
Next month, the round closes.
And when it’s completed, there won’t be another chance in this round.

If you believe, as I do, that legacy media has failed and The Flyover offers something better—this is your opportunity to be part of this movement.

The Big Question

One of the most common—and most fair—questions readers ask is simple:

How do I get a return on my investment?

I believe in being direct and transparent. Every investment carries risk. But here’s what makes The Flyover different:

We became profitable in just two years, with strong margins and disciplined growth—putting us among the top tier of media startups in the country.

There are three primary ways Flyover investors could ultimately see returns:

1. A Sale
One day, a larger media company or strategic partner could acquire The Flyover. If that happens, we’ll only work with partners who respect our mission and our readers.

2. A Public Listing
While we’re private today, a future public listing could give investors the freedom to buy and sell shares.

3. Profit Distributions (Dividends)
Unlike most startups, we’re already generating profit. That makes future distributions a real possibility as the business continues to scale.

To put it simply:
Sale. Listing. Distributions.

The Final Push of 2025

We’re in the last three-day sprint to close out the year, with our funding round set to close next month. Shares are limited, and once this round is completed, no additional investments will be accepted.

If you’ve been considering investing—whether to support the movement of bias free, fact-based journalism, to own a piece of a growing media company, or to position yourself for potential returns—I truly believe this is your moment.

Will you help us finish 2025 strong?

Join us as an owner before the year—and this round—comes to a close.

Warm regards,
Cole
CEO, The Flyover

P.S. The 15% bonus share opportunity is still available during this end-of-year sprint—but once it’s gone, it’s gone.

AI-Powered Medicare Pilot Program Coming Soon

Texas is one of six states that will participate in a pilot program that uses artificial intelligence to evaluate prior approvals for certain procedures for Medicare patients. Arizona, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Washington were also selected for participation in the six-year program, which starts Jan. 1.

The program, dubbed WISeR (Wasteful and Inappropriate Service Reduction), requires prior approval for more than a dozen medical procedures—including electrical nerve stimulation and epidural steroid injections—that "historically have had a higher risk of waste, fraud and abuse," according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

AI companies that administer the program will receive a portion of the cost savings associated with each denial, a model the American Hospital Association has characterized as a "perverse incentive." Human clinicians will review denials, and companies could be penalized if procedures they deny are subsequently appealed and approved.

Massachusetts-based Cohere Health will administer the program in Texas. In a statement, the company said its AI-powered prior authorization platform approves 90% of requested procedures.

Austin-San Antonio Megaregion Primed for Growth

Austin and San Antonio are 75 miles apart and have a combined population of 5.3 million, but the fast-growing cities are expected to become a megaregion with more than 8.3 million people by 2050.

Earlier this year, business leaders and government officials met at Texas State University in San Marcos for the first-ever Austin-San Antonio Megaregional Collaborative. At the summit, attendees highlighted the strengths of each city and discussed challenges to continued growth, like affordable housing, job training, and water and transportation infrastructure.

"This area is going to grow," said Henry Cisneros, the mayor of San Antonio during the 1980s and a former Housing and Urban Development secretary under President Bill Clinton. "It's not a question of if. It's only a question of at what pace and if we're prepared for it."

Cisneros, the co-author of the recently published The Austin–San Antonio Megaregion, emphasized the importance of regional coordination.

"Are we going to grow in a planned way with proper support, with some kind of rational transportation system, quality of life, opportunities for training, and a coherent approach?" he asked. "Or is this just going to be eclectic growth that creates traffic congestion, air pollution, and communities at each other's throats? That's the choice."
