Overwatch AI builds Wingman, an AI decision-support platform for airline operations that unifies manuals, maintenance records, flight data and external feeds (weather, NOTAMs) into a single natural-language interface for pilots, cabin crew, engineers and ops managers. Founded in 2025 by a former commercial pilot and a repeat AI founder who met in Barcelona, it went through Techstars and raised a $1.5M pre-seed in May 2026 led by aviation and deeptech investors. The platform is live across multiple airlines covering 30,000+ flights per month, and the company won Startup of the Year at Aviation Festival Asia.
