Airbase

Airbase Intelligence builds a unified software platform for radio-frequency spectrum licensing, coordination and intelligence. Its system ingests the analog records and PDF-based workflows that federal and commercial spectrum management still runs on and turns them into machine-readable interfaces for real-time coordination, licensing intelligence and interference deconfliction. The New York company emerged from stealth in March 2026 with a $5 million round led by Andreessen Horowitz, with Squadra Ventures and Founders You Should Know participating, and is already operating under federal contract. Customers span civilian regulators overseeing commercial spectrum and defense users working on electronic warfare, tactical communications and Joint All-Domain Command and Control.

Replaces static spectrum databases and manual, PDF-driven coordination with machine-to-machine interfaces, so bandwidth can be negotiated in milliseconds instead of the months that administrative licensing processes take.
