Aerovy Mobility Raises $6.4M Series A for AI-Native Aftermarket Service Software
Aerovy Mobility Raises $6.4M Series A
Aerovy Mobility, a Purdue-spinout software company, has raised a $6.4 million Series A round. The funding was announced on September 14, 2026, and comes in U.S. dollars.
What Aerovy Does
Aerovy helps equipment OEMs turn machine and sensor data into connected software services. Its AI-native platform automates aftermarket field service across the full workflow:
- Fault diagnosis
- Technician scheduling
- Parts sourcing
- Warranty closeout
The platform also manages telematics and asset data in one system, giving OEMs a single place to run connected service operations rather than stitching together separate tools for each stage of the aftermarket lifecycle.
Origins and Team
Aerovy was founded by Purdue graduates Nick Gunady and Thomas Chen. The company grew out of the Purdue School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, giving it deep roots in the aerospace and engineering community that informs its approach to machine and sensor data.
Partners
Aerovy works with partners including battery maker Inventus Power, according to the company's description. This kind of OEM and supplier relationship is central to Aerovy's model: the platform is built to serve equipment manufacturers that want to offer connected services on top of the machines they already sell.

Why It Matters
Aftermarket service is a large and operationally complex part of the equipment business. Fault diagnosis, scheduling, parts sourcing, and warranty closeout typically involve multiple systems and manual handoffs. Aerovy's pitch is that an AI-native platform can automate those steps while keeping telematics and asset data unified.
For equipment OEMs, the appeal is twofold: reducing the cost and friction of field service, and creating connected software services that generate recurring revenue after the initial sale. That shift from one-time equipment sales to ongoing service relationships is a common strategic priority across industrial and aerospace markets.
What to Watch
With a Series A in hand, the key questions for Aerovy are execution and expansion. The company will need to convert its Purdue research heritage and early partner relationships into repeatable deployments across OEM customers. The aftermarket field service category is competitive, and success will depend on how quickly Aerovy can demonstrate measurable improvements in diagnosis accuracy, technician utilization, and warranty cycle times.
Aerovy's position as a Purdue spinout also gives it a pipeline into engineering talent and research collaboration, which can support product development as the platform scales.
