Building a Mineral Rights JV Platform with VAPI Agents and County Data Scrapers: From Zero to $15M Projections

When you're operating solo across oil and gas deals, manual outreach to mineral rights owners becomes your bottleneck. At Load Bearing Empire, we automated the entire Unite Domestic Energy joint venture pipeline using VAPI agents for intelligent owner outreach combined with custom county data scrapers across 14 Texas counties. This technical breakdown covers how we built a production-ready mineral rights acquisition system—including the React command center dashboard, 3-sheet financial modeling ($750K Year 1 scaling to $15M Year 5), and the operational playbooks that let one engineer manage complex deal flow. We'll walk through the tech stack (Supabase, VAPI, self-hosted infrastructure), the automation architecture that replaced manual prospecting, and the specific county scraper patterns that feed qualified leads into your outbound workflow.
