Company mission
To provide the building blocks for engineering teams to rapidly develop best-in-class tools.
Our take
One of the biggest challenges in software development is a lack of simple internal tooling, leaving teams without the tooling needed to keep business moving. Airplane’s developer-centric, code-first approach to building UIs and workflows saves ops and risk teams from being bottlenecked by an unmanaged mountain of data requests.
While platforms like Retool and Superblocks are also addressing internal tooling challenges, Airplane diverts from the typical low-code, drag-and-drop approach of creating apps by developing specialized “easy code” automation and management tools.
While the company has yet to be profitable, Airplane has effectively utilized the capital from each of its funding rounds, fueling new product releases, doubling its team, and expanding its customer base. Airplane’s products solve a small portion of the wide range of internal tooling challenges facing organizations, providing the company with an opportunity to develop a broad platform for internal tool development.
