akmon/01
Capacity visibility
A way for precision manufacturers to represent their real available capacity — by process, certification, and time window — without having to babysit a portal. Useful to the shop first, legible to buyers second.
Aerospace · Precision manufacturing
Most precision manufacturers run below their real capacity. We're building the layer that changes that.
akmon is a capacity and supplier-to-prime layer for the aerospace supply chain, built with the engineers, buyers, and shop owners who live the problem every day.
01 — Problem
Walk into almost any precision machine shop and you'll find capacity that nobody outside the building knows exists. Spindles sit idle between jobs. A five-axis cell runs one shift instead of three. A qualified supplier in Birmingham or Bursa has exactly the certifications a prime needs next quarter — and no realistic way for that prime to find them.
Meanwhile, the buyers on the other side are quoting the same handful of names, waiting weeks for responses, and absorbing schedule risk that shows up months later on the shop floor. The friction between suppliers and primes is not a software gap. It's a structural one.
The result is a supply chain that looks tight from the outside and is full of slack on the inside. We think that's the most valuable problem in aerospace manufacturing right now, and the one worth building a company around.
02 — What we're building
We're building akmon as three connected pieces, shaped directly by the conversations we're having with manufacturers and primes today.
/02
Supplier-to-prime matching
A directed matching layer between qualified suppliers and the aerospace primes and tier-1s looking for them. Not a marketplace. A way for the right two parties to find each other earlier in the cycle, with the right context.
/03
Aerospace-ready pathway
Tooling and structured guidance to help capable manufacturers close the gap to aerospace-grade work — the audits, the paperwork, the first qualifying jobs — so the available capacity actually becomes usable capacity.
03 — Talk to us
We're talking to the people we're building this for.
Thirty minutes, no pitch. If you run a precision shop, sit on a procurement desk, or work inside a prime's supply chain, book a time and we'll bring questions, not a deck.
