Who we are
VAST//AIR was founded in 2025 to help usher cities into the next generation of opportunity and growth. We solve the problems public and private property owners face in the mapping, quantifying, and monetizing of their unrealized airspace potential with an eye toward the future and the belief in smart city solutions. Cities are slow to react to new technologies and the private sector has not yet embraced this new asset class. We leverage all the technology available to aggregate and collect all the data needed to ensure long-term solutions are actionable today.
We are led by Ph.D.s and Computer Scientists with decades of work in applied policy solutions, product development, SaaS, and executive leadership in government, tech startups, and Fortune 500 companies. We have enlisted the help of legal subject matter experts, Realtors with hundreds of clients, serial startup Founders, and private equity advisors - and we all call San Francisco our home.
We believe that property owners and cities should maximize their potential and unlock the value behind their civic airspace, whether it is through a real estate transaction, lease, or transfer. We are here to help cities grow.
We hope you join us in this new venture - sky’s the limit.
Investor Relations
We are currently focused on customer acquisitions and pilots in San Francisco, but we expect to evaluate pre-seed financing before the end of 2026.
Based on the most recent zoning changes and our mapping valuation of the airspace above residential, commercial, and road polygons, we are currently working with a $30 Billion TAM in San Francisco alone.
Please provide us with your contact information and level of interest, and we will send you our materials when we start fundraising.
Careers
We anticipate we will start a round of hiring before the end of 2026 to expand our product offerings outside of San Francisco and welcome you to join our open pool talent.
If you live in the Bay Area or Los Angeles, have experience as a full stack/forward deployed engineer, and believe you could make a great contribution to our company, we would love to hear from you. We will update this section as soon as we start eyeing other roles and start contacting our open pool of talent before we start working with recruiters.
Please provide us with your resume or personal page and we will contact you when the timing is right.
Media Relations
We welcome media interest and look forward to greater engagement with the public, but please be mindful of our startup staffing and focus.
Please provide us with your contact information and inquiry, and we will be in touch as soon as possible.
