Intuos is an Italian aviation-technology startup developing a two-part platform for flying clubs, flight schools and other non-commercial aviation operators. Its Manager module digitises the entire operational workflow—from flight planning and crew scheduling to fleet maintenance—within a single dashboard. Complementing this, the InFlight Data Monitoring system uses proprietary IoT devices to stream real-time telemetry and engine-performance data, enabling continuous monitoring, anomaly detection and pilot performance analytics without manual downloads. The company holds two patents (one internationally extended) that cover the integrated hardware-software architecture. By unifying in-flight data with ground operations, Intuos aims to reduce data redundancy, enhance safety and boost operational efficiency for small aircraft fleets. The fresh capital injection will finance completion of key technology milestones and support early expansion efforts in the United States. To date, Intuos has raised €720,000, although no revenue or user metrics have been disclosed.
