Italian aviation technology startup Intuos has secured €720,000 in fresh investment to advance its integrated aviation operations and safety platform. The new funding will support product development, technological milestones, and the company’s expansion into international markets, including the United States.
The investment round was led by Argo, a TravelTech accelerator launched through CDP Venture Capital in collaboration with Italy’s Ministry of Tourism. Additional backing came from Techstars, Ventive, and several business angels and club deal investors, highlighting growing interest in aviation safety and operational efficiency technologies.
Addressing critical gaps in non-commercial aviation management
Intuos was founded by Carolina Gianardi and Vito Tedeschi to solve operational and safety challenges facing non-commercial aviation sectors such as flight schools, flying clubs, and private operators. As aviation operations grow more complex, many organisations still rely on fragmented or outdated software systems that fail to integrate operational workflows, maintenance, and in-flight monitoring.
The founders identified a major opportunity to create a unified digital platform that improves operational oversight, enhances compliance, and reduces safety risks. Their solution connects in-flight data, aircraft performance, and operational processes into a single integrated ecosystem.
By digitising and automating aviation workflows, Intuos helps operators improve fleet efficiency while ensuring higher levels of safety and regulatory compliance.
Integrated platform combines fleet management and real-time monitoring
The Intuos platform consists of two core components designed to provide end-to-end operational visibility.
The first component, called Manager, digitises aviation operations such as flight planning, scheduling, compliance tracking, and fleet maintenance. This allows organisations to centralise operational processes and eliminate manual workflows, improving efficiency and reducing errors.
The second component focuses on InFlight Data Monitoring, using proprietary IoT hardware and real-time telemetry to capture engine performance, aircraft behaviour, and pilot activity. This system continuously analyses data to detect anomalies, monitor performance trends, and support proactive safety management.
Together, these systems create a fully integrated technology loop connecting flight data, operational management, and compliance monitoring. This unified approach improves data accuracy, enhances safety oversight, and enables better decision-making.
The platform is supported by two patents, including one with international coverage, reinforcing Intuos’ technological differentiation in aviation safety and fleet intelligence.
Strong investor backing from travel and startup ecosystem
The funding round reflects confidence from leading investors across aviation, travel technology, and startup acceleration ecosystems.
Argo, the TravelTech accelerator backed by CDP Venture Capital, plays a key role in supporting innovation across tourism and travel-related sectors. Its involvement signals strong strategic support for Intuos’ growth and product development.
Techstars, one of the world’s leading startup accelerators, also participated in the round, bringing expertise in scaling early-stage technology companies globally. Ventive and multiple angel investors further strengthen Intuos’ investor base with industry expertise and operational support.
This combination of institutional investors, accelerators, and experienced angels provides Intuos with both capital and strategic guidance to accelerate growth.
Funding to accelerate technology development and global expansion
The newly secured capital will be used to complete key technology milestones and enhance the platform’s capabilities. Intuos plans to continue refining its integrated hardware and software solution, improving real-time monitoring, analytics, and automation features.
A major focus will be international expansion, particularly into the United States, which represents one of the world’s largest aviation markets. The company has already established a presence across Europe and South Africa, demonstrating early traction and global scalability.
Expansion into the US market could significantly increase Intuos’ addressable market, as flight schools, private operators, and aviation organisations increasingly seek advanced digital safety and fleet management tools.
Positioned to benefit from aviation digital transformation
The aviation industry is undergoing rapid digital transformation, driven by increasing regulatory requirements, safety standards, and operational complexity. Non-commercial aviation operators, in particular, face growing pressure to improve efficiency while maintaining high safety standards.
Intuos’ integrated platform addresses these challenges by combining operational management, real-time monitoring, and predictive analytics into a single system. This approach reduces operational risks, improves compliance, and enables more efficient fleet management.
As aviation organisations continue adopting digital technologies, platforms that provide unified operational visibility and safety intelligence are expected to see growing demand.
Building the future of aviation safety and operational intelligence
With €720,000 in new funding, strong investor backing, and patented technology, Intuos is positioned to become an important player in aviation safety and fleet management software.
By integrating flight data, operational workflows, and real-time monitoring into a unified platform, the company is helping modernise aviation operations and improve safety outcomes.
As Intuos accelerates product development and expands internationally, it is well positioned to support the aviation sector’s transition toward smarter, safer, and more efficient operations.
