Our take
Every day, marketers waste countless hours organizing, finding, approving, and sharing content — this mindless work gets in the way of the creative process. Air's product automates these tasks, giving creators back time to do what they do best: create.
Air works as a cloud collaboration platform that negates the need to move items to and from the cloud when working with visual content. Teams can use the platform to search, review, and manage all their content in one place. Users can migrate their content from Dropbox or hard drives, and once all assets are in Air, the platform automates the work and keeps the library organized.
Air's 2022 round of funding from Tiger Global Group and Headline is being used to build out more product features and expand the team. Further, over recent years that has been a rapid surge in the cloud collaboration market, which is forecast to surpass $50 billion by 2025. Air is therefore operating well in a market that is expected to see significant growth.
