Overview
<p><b>Overview</b></p><p>Founded in 2019, my website arose from a genuine interest in private aviation and a recognized market gap for a streamlined, user-friendly way to compare various jet models.</p><p>Initially a straightforward model search tool, the platform evolved through trial, error, and user feedback into a comprehensive subscription-based SaaS, catering to future jet owners and industry professionals alike.</p><p>The custom built platform includes 3D models, technical data, operating cost breakdown, market values, and an interactive range map for 148 private jet models. Users can then compare up to 3 aircraft at once and share aircraft with non-members using a temporary link.<br></p><p>My startup is also a member of the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA).<br></p><p><b>Milestones and Achievements</b></p><p>From its inception, my startup set ambitious goals, achieving several significant milestones:</p><ul><li><b>Full SaaS Product Built from Scratch</b>: Custom-developed with an extensive database covering 148 private jet models, my platform offers a unique depth of technical and cost data.</li><li><b>Press Coverage</b>: Data from the platform has been referenced in the Financial Times, Business Insider, and other notable publications, affirming its industry relevance.</li><li><b>Feature Launches and Feedback-Driven Improvements</b>: Based on user requests, robust formulas now back the financial calculations, enhancing accuracy.
