Kambr raises a seed round of $3 million

Kambr, an Utrecht, Netherlands-based software developer for the airline industry, announced securing a $3 million seed funding round.

The moeny was raised from a range of investors led by angels Jim Collis, Bill Luby and industry veteran Michael Scheeringa, joining existing investors including Founder Collective, Global Founders Capital, Studio VC, Silicon Badia, C2 Ventures Capital Partners and TXV Partners.

Kambr, founded in 2019 by CEO Jason Kelly, Martin Kaduc, Michael Peters and Chris Anthony, provides content, advisory and software for the airline companies.

The company’s name is derived from the aerodynamics term “camber” – the asymmetry between the two acting surfaces of a wing. Just as camber is literally how an airplane’s lift happens, Kambr gives clients the tools, insights and processes necessary to lift their revenues via its software, content and advisory products.

The company is comprised of three divisions: 

Kambr Solutions: Kambr's software arm is building solutions focused on automation, control and applied data science. 

Kambr Advisory: Kambr’s consultative, professional services and research arm is dedicated to helping airlines maximize the performance and productivity of their commercial operations.  

Kambr Media: Kambr’s independent content arm is shaping the discussion around issues relevant to today’s commercial aviation industry.  

Kambr previously raised $4 million in 2019 upon launching.
