START-UP ACCELERATOR PROGRAM

POWERING THE NEXT GENERATION OF TRAVEL INNOVATION

OAG is opening up access to the world's most trusted aviation data to help start-ups build, launch, and scale faster. 

 

why Oag?

Access to world-class aviation data


You get access to selected datasets from the same products trusted by the world's leading airlines, airports and travel platforms.

OAG has been the global standard for aviation data for decades, and the start-ups we work with get direct access to that same depth and accuracy. 

Pricing that Works for Early-Stage Companies


Getting clean, reliable aviation data has historically meant enterprise contracts, long procurement cycles, and prices built for organisations 10x your size. 

Program participants receive free or heavily discounted access to selected OAG aviation datasets, with commercial terms that reflect where you are today and scale with you. 

Technical Expertise & Collaboration


Program participants work directly with OAG's team of data experts. Our team sits alongside yours on integration, data architecture and use case validation.

For early-stage companies, hands-on technical expertise makes the difference between a product built on shaky foundations and one built to last. 

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

Built for founders who are serious about aviation data, we're looking for ambitious early-stage companies where aviation data isn't a nice-to-have, its core to your product. 

 

You're a strong fit if you HAVE: 

  Early-stage focus 

Founded within the last 5 years or recently pivoted to a new product direction within the last 3 years.

 ✓  Product integration

Aviation data is a core product component with a defined technical roadmap, not a peripheral feature.

 ✓ Funding or traction

Raised Seed to Series B funding, OR bootstrapped with £50K+ ARR, 10+ paying customers, or 20%+ MoM growth over 3 months.

 ✓ AN Innovative application 

Building in aviation, travel, mobility, fintech, AI, sustainability (or somewhere we haven't thought of yet) with a genuinely novel application of aviation data.

 ✓ Technical capability

 Engineering team ready to integrate APIs and work with structured data.

WE'RE ESPECIALLY INTERESTED IN START-UPS WITH NOVEL OR UNCONVENTIONAL USE CASES. IF YOU'RE PUSHING BOUNDARIES IN TRAVEL TECH, WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU.

WHO THIS ISN’T FOR

The OAG Start-up Program is a focused program and we only work with a small number of companies at a time, running twice a year. We're selective about who we accept so that we can give you the hands-on support you need to succeed. 

 

 We don’t accept:  

 x Established enterprises or scale-ups

Companies at Series C or beyond should engage through our standard commercial channels.

 X Consulting firms, agencies, or resellers

 This program is designed for companies with a direct-to-market product.

 X Projects without technical integration plans 

You'll need engineering resource and a clear plan for how you'll work with the data. 

X Side projects or pre-product concepts

We're looking for companies with demonstrated validation and commitment. If you don't have a defined product yet, come back when you're building. 

 X Companies where aviation data is peripheral

If aviation data is supplementary rather than core to your product, this program isn't the right fit.
