Summary*

Airplane, founded in 2021 and based in San Francisco, California, operated as a developer platform for automating internal workflows. The company provided tools for developers to build applications with integrated APIs and custom components, supporting various databases and messaging platforms. Airplane raised a total of $40.5 million in funding during its operation.

In a significant development, Airplane was acquired by Airtable in January 2024. As a result of this acquisition, Airplane's product is scheduled to be shut down, with an end-of-life date set for March 1, 2024. The valuation of Airplane at the time of acquisition was not disclosed.

Given these recent events, there are currently no reports or rumors regarding Airplane's IPO prospects. The acquisition by Airtable and the subsequent shutdown of Airplane's product effectively eliminates any potential for a public offering in the foreseeable future.

For investors interested in the developer tools and workflow automation sector, it may be worth monitoring the progress of Airtable, the company that acquired Airplane, for potential investment opportunities in this space.
