Our take
German business airfocus builds prioritisation and company road mapping solutions for teams and decision-makers. Its software aims to help unify companies under key objectives and communicate to employees and shareholders the best roads to achieve them.
A key feature of airfocus’s platform is its ability to integrate with popular task management systems such as Trello, Jira, and Asana, making it an easy-to-install addition to employee suites. Though it has a footing in Europe, the company is up against American competitors such as Productboard and Roadmunk, so expansion internationally is key.
Indeed, bagging platform customers from the American market will be vital for airfocus to expand. Promisingly, it has secured considerable funding to support this growth, as it expands its technological capabilities, improves its market presence and seeks to attract top talent in the industry.
