I’m seeking funding to open up a rail gun ranch where you can sit in your lawn chair and blow satellites out of the sky.

Lasers would probably be more practical. Maybe a whole array of lasers w. telescopes? At (say) 500 km, a 20 cm aperture would have a spot size of maybe 50 cm. So let's take that telescope array, hook a kW laser to each one, and roast some LEO satellites?
(Note: this is not an actual suggestion this be done.)
I’m working on a DaaS startup (drone as a service) so maybe I’ll locate next to you and your customers can blow drones out of the sky and mine will keep having to replace theirs.
I like where you are going with this. Can you offer “hardened” drones for the advanced players?
Probably legal in Texas? If it's directly over "your land?"
If your application says it is meant to hunt feral hogs, then they will allow it.
This may be a good plan B pivot! Join now and get a free lawn chair!
Feral hogs IN SPAAAAACE!
Kessler‘s farm?
I'm thinking of "space roombas" that glide around and bump all the sats in LEO into the atmosphere like a game of pool
Only problem is they are toxic as they burn up and create a lot of pollution
