The Italian startup will use new funding to accelerate development, complete key technology milestones, and support its expansion into the US market.
Intuos, a startup developing an integrated platform to improve aircraft fleet efficiency, safety, and compliance, has closed a €720,000 investment round. The round was led by a group of investors, including Argo, a TravelTech accelerator created through a CDP Venture Capital initiative in collaboration with the Italian Ministry of Tourism and managed by Zest and Venisia, together with Techstars, Ventive, and several club deals and business angels.
Founded by Carolina Gianardi and Vito Tedeschi, Intuos is addressing what it describes as a growing challenge in non-commercial aviation, where traditional software is increasingly unable to manage rising operational complexity and the integrated coordination of training, operations, and fleet management.
According to the founders, non-commercial aviation requires stronger structured control across operational workflows, and the company’s platform was developed to close gaps between in-flight activity and operational oversight.
The Intuos platform is built around two core components. The Manager digitises aeronautical operations, covering activities ranging from flight planning to fleet maintenance while centralising processes within a single integrated platform for flying clubs, flight schools, and commercial operators.
The InFlight Data Monitoring solution combines proprietary IoT devices with real-time telemetry and engine performance data, enabling continuous monitoring, pilot performance analysis, and anomaly detection without the need for manual data uploads. Together, these components connect in-flight performance with operational management, creating a unified and scalable technology cycle supported by two patents, one of which has been extended internationally.
The founders said that the platform integrates hardware and software within a single system to improve data consistency, reduce redundancy, and support safer and more efficient operations.
The capital raised will support the completion of key technological developments and the company’s initial exploration of the US market, building on its expansion in Europe and South Africa.
