Narrowing the Gap between Regulations and Airlines
Aviation AI-based Compliance auditor
Cipher is the first AI-powered system built specifically to audit aviation manuals for regulatory compliance. It reads and interprets complex documentation, checks alignment with standards like IOSA, EASA, and national regulations, and highlights actionable gaps. More than a tracker, Cipher acts like a virtual auditor
CIPHER cutting edge ai-based virtual auditor for aviation
1) Product & Problem Fit
Cipher addresses a critical gap in aviation compliance by automating the review of airline manuals and documentation against global regulatory standards (e.g., IOSA, EASA TCO, national regulations). The platform reduces audit preparation time by 70% and cuts compliance costs by up to 50%, while providing corrective action plans and continuous regulatory alignment.
2) Product Maturity & Market Validation
Since its inception, Cipher has been self-funded and bootstrapped by its founders, and its Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is already developed and validated. The MVP has been successfully presented to Egyptian regulators and is currently under active negotiation with early customers, including two airlines in Egypt and a consultancy group in Saudi Arabia. Cipher’s pricing model is modular and scalable, targeting small, medium, and large operators with document-based SaaS subscriptions, complemented by setup fees, add-ons (e.g., implementation guidelines, updates), and optional consulting (phased out after 2026 for scalability).
3) Use of Funds & Go-to-Market Strategy
AeroSync is now raising a $1.2M seed round to fund Cipher’s next phase of growth. The funds will be used to hire a CTO, QA engineers, and marketing & sales director, internalize development, integrate a document management system, and execute a go-to-market strategy focused on Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the broader Gulf region. This capital will cover operations through the end of 2026, after which Series B funding will support expansion into Europe and North America.
4) Financial Outlook & Investor Opportunity
Cipher’s business model is high-margin and recurring. With conservative projections, the company expects to grow from $17K in revenue in Q4 2025 (from one client), to $306K in 2026, and $911K in 2027 with 30+ clients. Despite initial losses due to team and infrastructure scaling, Cipher’s gross margins exceed 90%, and cash runway from the seed round extends through Q3 2027, positioning the company for stable growth and strategic follow-on funding.
Cipher offers investors early access to a scalable, proven solution in a heavily underserved and regulation-dependent market, with strong early traction, a functional product, and a capital-efficient roadmap to global scale.
