Hamilton AI

What Hamilton AI does

Hamilton AI is a private aviation software company that has built a deterministic, non-generative AI execution platform to replace the fragmented toolchains used by charter operators and brokers. Founded in 2024 by Wouter Witvoet (previously a senior executive at Secfi and DeFi Technologies) and headquartered in San Francisco, the company targets Part 135 and Part 91 commercial operators managing 5 to 60+ aircraft. The platform ingests unstructured inputs — emails, WhatsApp messages, PDFs, broker platform requests — and converts them into structured, auditable trip records, then routes them through a connected workflow covering lead prioritization, quoting, CRM enrichment, demand intelligence, contract signing, and payment reconciliation.

The product suite is modular: Hamilton Inbound (AI inbox), Hamilton CRM, Hamilton Quoting, Hamilton Demand (directional demand and empty leg optimization), Hamilton Markets (broker/operator marketplace launched June 2026), and Hamilton Banking (embedded financial infrastructure built on Column National Association with AML/KYB compliance). A Hamilton Crew Module is announced as upcoming. The company sells through enterprise field sales with modular subscription pricing (annual billing, tiers undisclosed), targeting operators running 5-60+ aircraft and the brokers who source from them. Early customers include Baker Aviation (scaled from 1 to 25+ jets), Craft Aviation (1,500 flight hours/year vs. industry norm of 200-400), and Jetvia.

Hamilton AI has raised approximately $9.8 million in disclosed funding: a $2.3 million pre-seed round in 2024 from Bling Capital, Cambrian Ventures, Weekend Fund, FJ Labs, and Mintaka Ventures, followed by a $7.5 million seed round in March 2026 led by TTV Capital with participation from the same investors plus Correlation VC and HF0. The team comprises roughly 10+ members based in San Francisco, with active engineering hiring. Disclosed customer outcomes include tripling of daily quote output (approximately 400 to 1,200+), 5x faster quoting, 1-2 hours saved per rep per day, quote-to-book ratio improvements of up to 2 percentage points, and 6-figure losses avoided through directional demand visibility.

Core offering

Hamilton AI is a deterministic (non-generative) AI execution platform built for private aviation that ingests unstructured inputs such as emails, WhatsApp messages, PDFs, and broker requests and converts them into structured, auditable actions. It delivers a full-stack workflow for charter operators and brokers connecting intake, quoting, CRM, demand intelligence, embedded banking, and crew management in a single unified platform. The product suite is sold as modular subscriptions that replace the 25+ fragmented tools operators currently use to run charter operations.

Product overview

Hamilton AI is a full-stack AI execution platform for private aviation operations, delivered as a unified platform with interconnected modules. The core product suite consists of Hamilton Inbound (AI-powered inbox for request aggregation), Hamilton CRM (aviation-specific client database), Hamilton Quoting (AI-powered quoting and booking), Hamilton Demand (sales intelligence with directional demand and empty leg optimization), and Hamilton Markets (broker/operator marketplace). These modules share a common data architecture where inbound requests are structured once and flow through the entire workflow—CRM, quoting, contracts, payment, and reconciliation—without manual re-entry. Additional offerings include Hamilton Banking (embedded financial infrastructure via Column partnership) for payment processing and reconciliation. A Crew Module is announced as an upcoming product.
