Hamilton AI raises $7.5 million to advance private aviation workflows
The funding supports development of AI-driven scheduling, pricing and payment tools, as operators shift from manual processes to automated ones.

Hamilton AI has gained $7.5 million in seed funding led by TTV Capital, with additional backing from Bling Capital, Cambrian Ventures, FJ Labs, Weekend Fund, Mintaka Ventures, Correlation VC and HF0.

Founded by Wouter Witvoet, founder and CEO of Hamilton AI, the company is targeting inefficiencies in private aviation workflows, where fragmented and manual systems continue to underpin high-value transactions.

The investment follows rising demand from U.S. commercial operators for improved scheduling and optimisation tools. Hamilton AI has scaled quickly and will use the funding to expand its data infrastructure, deepen engineering resources and advance product capabilities.

“For decades, private aviation has run on fragmented, manual systems,” says Gardiner Garrard, co-founder and managing partner at TTV Capital. “Hamilton is applying AI to improve longstanding inefficiencies in private aviation, and by integrating payments into its platform, it is adding value to each client transaction. We're proud to support Wouter and the entire Hamilton AI team as they set the standard for modern, AI-powered infrastructure.”

The platform ingests unstructured inputs including emails, PDFs and operational records, converting them into structured, auditable outputs. Core workflows such as quote generation, dynamic pricing, customer pipeline management and payment reconciliation are automated, enabling faster and more accurate booking processes.

The system is designed to avoid hallucination risks, delivering consistent and verifiable outputs across transactions.

“I've spent my career building execution infrastructure for high-value, time-sensitive transactions, first in private stock lending, then in digital assets on the public markets,” says Wouter Witvoet, founder and CEO of Hamilton AI. “Private aviation has the same fundamental problem: billions of dollars in activity running on manual processes. Hamilton is transforming an industry that's been underserved by technology.”

Operational impact is already visible. One operator increased daily quote volume from approximately 400 to more than 1,200 without increasing headcount, allowing teams to shift toward relationship management and closing activity.

Since launching in 2024, Hamilton AI has deployed its platform across complex fleet environments, with customers including Baker Aviation, Craft Aviation and Jetvia contributing to product development. The team brings experience from companies such as Dropbox, Square, Walt Disney, PagerDuty and Airlabs, and participated in HF0’s residency programme for repeat founders.
