The Future of Aviation Commerce in Europe
Trade:Aero is building the digital infrastructure for aircraft transactions. Join us in capturing a €5B+ market with first-mover advantage.
The 30-Second Pitch
Trade:Aero is the Airbnb for aircraft - a digital marketplace connecting buyers, sellers, and renters of general aviation aircraft across Europe. The €5B+ European market is fragmented across outdated platforms. We're the first modern, mobile-first solution with integrated services. We're seeking €500-750K seed funding to scale our live marketplace, prove monetization and product-market fit, and capture first-mover advantage.

Building the Digital Infrastructure for Aviation
We envision a world where buying, selling, or renting an aircraft is as seamless as booking a hotel room - transparent, trusted, and efficient.
Why Now?
Post-COVID aviation boom: General aviation saw record demand as high-net-worth individuals seek private travel alternatives.
Digital transformation gap: Aviation lags other industries in digital adoption. Incumbent platforms use technology from the 2000s.
Generational wealth transfer: As baby boomers retire, a wave of aircraft will enter the market, creating unprecedented liquidity.
New buyer demographics: Younger, tech-savvy buyers expect modern e-commerce experiences when making major purchases.
Market Opportunity
30,000+ registered GA aircraft in DACH region alone. Average transaction value: €150K-€500K.
Market-size figures are estimates based on GAMA, EASA and national civil-aviation-authority registries; actual figures may vary.
Investment Thesis
Why Trade:Aero represents a compelling investment opportunity.
€5B+ European market with no dominant digital platform. Fragmented across outdated classifieds and dealer websites. Clear opportunity for consolidation.
Average transaction values of €150K-€500K create significant revenue potential with relatively low transaction volume needed for profitability.
Network effects from buyer/seller liquidity, data accumulation for valuations, and deep industry integrations create lasting competitive advantages.
