The dedicated sales force connecting drone OEMs and autonomous systems buyers with Oklahoma's proven manufacturing base — bridging local capability to national and international markets.
OK Autonomous is Tulsa's dedicated commercial representative for the autonomous systems era. We serve as the shared sales force for Oklahoma's small and midsized manufacturers — sourcing qualified opportunities, facilitating buyer introductions, and translating manufacturing strengths into revenue.
We're not consultants. We're operators — rooted in the Tulsa innovation ecosystem, with 40+ years of aerospace sales, CNC and manufacturing leadership, and proven startup scaling behind us.
Our vision: Oklahoma as the drone capital of the world. The groundwork is being laid right now. When the flood comes, our manufacturers will be ready.
"A patient investment in sales and marketing will first produce a few drips, then a light trickle — followed by a flood. If the groundwork isn't in place, the flood will occur and NE Oklahoma manufacturers will miss the rewards."
We act as your dedicated commercial engine — not a consulting report, but an active sales force with skin in the game.
We open doors that Oklahoma manufacturers couldn't access alone. OEM introductions, defense prime relationships, and commercial drone buyer engagements — sourced, screened, and facilitated into signed contracts.
We screen every pursuit for fit, readiness, and win probability. We advise on certifications (AS9100, ITAR), competitive positioning, and proposal structure so manufacturers invest effort where it counts.
Manufacturing capability means nothing if buyers can't understand it. We develop buyer-relevant value propositions and capability profiles that communicate Oklahoma manufacturing in language that closes deals.
"As entrepreneurs we were trained that we eat what we kill. We de-risk through effort and attitude. Our careers and experiences are performance based — not theoretical, but practical."
