About AvSight
AvSight is a cloud-native ERP and inventory management platform purpose-built for the aviation aftermarket, including MROs, parts traders, and leasing companies. When we invested, AvSight had a next-generation product with strong early adoption but lacked the operational scale, sales infrastructure, and enterprise maturity required to capitalize on the industry’s shift away from legacy on-premise systems.
Investment Thesis
We saw a compelling opportunity to accelerate AvSight’s growth by:
- Positioning it as the modern, cloud-first alternative to outdated aviation ERP systems.
- Building a scalable go-to-market engine targeting mid-market and enterprise aviation customers.
- Enhancing product depth to support more complex workflows and regulatory requirements.
- Driving predictable recurring revenue through subscription pricing and multi-year contracts.
