Our take
Airfocus is a German-born software company building prioritisation and company road mapping solutions for teams and decision-makers. Armed with the understanding that the choices made in strategic planning could lead to failure without the right resources, airfocus’s 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 is getting a footing in Europe, airfocus is up against American competitors such as Productboard and Roadmunk, which is part of the reason it plans to open an office in the USA. Bagging platform customers from the American market will be key for airfocus in their bid to expand and attract Series B funding from US tech investors.
