The story of Rising Sun FPV is an inspiring example of how determination and hard work can turn a difficult situation into a successful business venture. The founder of the company, who was a member of the Defence Force, had to leave his job on a medical discharge in 2019. With limited job prospects and a desire to pursue his passion for drones and FPV (First Person View) technology, he decided to start his own business.
The journey began with a garage-based business in 2018, where the founder started building custom drones and providing FPV equipment to a niche market of hobbyists and enthusiasts. Despite the challenges of starting a business from scratch, the founder was able to leverage his military experience in discipline, teamwork, and problem-solving, to establish a strong foundation for his business.
As the business began to grow, the founder realized the potential for a physical store that would provide a one-stop-shop for all things FPV. With the help of his wife and a small team, he was able to secure a commercial space and transform it into a full-blown brick-and-mortar store.
Within two years of starting the business, Rising Sun FPV had become a well-known brand in the FPV community, with a loyal customer base and a reputation for providing high-quality products and excellent customer service. The store's success was due in large part to the founder's dedication to providing a personalized experience for each customer, including providing product demonstrations and hands-on training.
The success of Rising Sun FPV is a testament to the power of entrepreneurship and the potential for small businesses to grow and succeed. It also highlights the importance of perseverance, hard work, and adaptability in the face of challenges. With the right mindset and a strong work ethic, anyone can achieve their goals and turn their passion into a successful business venture.
