Airware
Airware was an enterprise commercial-drone (UAV) software and aerial-data-analytics company founded in 2011 by Jonathan Downey and headquartered in San Francisco. It began by building an operating system and autopilot for commercial drones, then pivoted to a cloud-based "Aerial Information Platform" that captured, processed, and analyzed drone imagery for enterprise verticals such as mining, quarrying, insurance, and construction. Airware acquired French drone-analytics firm Redbird in 2016 and raised roughly $118M from investors including Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Kleiner Perkins, GV (Google Ventures), Intel Capital, and Next World Capital. The company ceased operations in September 2018. It was surfaced as an a16z portfolio company and added to the API Evangelist network as a lead; no live developer surface, API, or public specification is currently discoverable (the airware.com domain no longer resolves), so this profile is retained as a historical/defunct record.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
Airware is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Airware scores 6.8/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

Airware is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
