About
Unlocking new opportunities at the intersection of aviation & technology
Aviato was founded by Yavuz Karadag, former Co-founder and CEO of the aviation software company Airsiders. Through building enterprise software used by airlines and aviation stakeholders, he gained firsthand insight into the operational workflows, systems, and structural challenges that define the industry - and where new technology can create meaningful impact.
Aviato builds on this experience by identifying concrete opportunities to deploy new technologies across aviation, and working with aviation companies, founders, and investors to turn them into products, ventures, and partnerships. Operating at the intersection of aviation and technology, Aviato supports venture creation, advises industry stakeholders and technology companies, and helps accelerate the adoption of AI across this complex and critical global sector.
