What’s Currently Going on in the Industry?
Ah, the home building and insurance industry, where the motto seems to be, "Why make homes safer when you can just charge more for insurance?" Traditional home construction methods can't tornado-proof a home in a week, but Safedomes can. The industry is ripe for disruption, and Safedomes is the tornado tearing through it—ironically.
Company Birth Story
Picture this: Hurricane Andrew is wreaking havoc, and David Pressler is there with Miami Dade County Fire Rescue. He looks around and thinks, "We can do better." In 1994, he founded DRD Enterprises and designed Safedomes—8-ton concrete domes that can withstand winds of up to 300 mph. It's like the superhero origin story you never knew you needed.

The Solution
Safedomes are not just glorified igloos; they're certified safe rooms by both Miami Dade County and the Department of Defense. These metal quonset huts have never been damaged by wind. Ever. Wrap them in foam insulation, and you reduce energy use by 70%. It's the home insurance and utility industry's worst nightmare, but your dream come true.
Why You Should Try Them Out
Remember the Burtons? They survived Hurricane Wilma in a Safedome. Seven hours, 145 mph winds, and they didn't even know a hurricane was happening outside. If you're tired of playing Russian roulette with Mother Nature, it's time to get a Safedome.

Why You Should Invest
Safedomes is not just a company; it's a movement. With climate change making extreme weather events more frequent, the demand for safe, energy-efficient homes is skyrocketing. Plus, at age 76, founder David Pressler is looking to make others wealthy and leave a legacy. Investing in Safedomes is like investing in a safer, greener future. And who wouldn't want to be a part of that?
So, whether you're an entrepreneur looking for the next big thing, an investor sniffing out a golden opportunity, or just someone who'd rather not get blown away—literally—Safedomes is your safe bet.
