Altair
Aerospace Startup Acceleration Program (ASAP)
Section Subtitle
Altair believes in those who dare to push the limits of engineering to change the world. That’s why we support startups in their challenging journey towards success through the Aerospace Startup Acceleration Program (ASAP), an acceleration program designed to help startups overcome the aerospace industry’s unique hurdles.
We know that developing, testing, and certifying your minimum viable product (MVP) as soon as possible – without financial trade-offs early on – is a top priority. Market-leading design, simulation, engineering, artificial intelligence (AI), and data analytics tools can drastically accelerate your journey, reduce risks and costs, and ensure your team makes data-driven decisions quickly.
What Makes ASAP Different?
Altair designed ASAP to meet the unique needs of the aerospace industry. As a startup, every penny counts – and obtaining the right tools can be very costly, requiring you to allocate precious capital on software instead of people. ASAP ensures you’re maximizing your investments across the board.
In addition, many startup programs from other companies have major drawbacks: they often last only a few years, which isn’t enough time for most aviation startups to get off the ground. They can also lock you in with attractive initial offers and then increase prices too soon — regardless of your financial condition.
With Altair, you get flexibility and peace of mind. You can use our solutions along with in-house code, open-source tools, or software from other companies; Altair’s tools are interoperable and easy to connect to other systems.
Unlimited Simulation and Data Analytics Software
Your cost for access to all our design and simulation and data analytics software is a small percentage of your total funding, recalculated annually. This gives your team access to all the software they need, wherever they work. In short, you get the same access to the software trusted by major aerospace organizations around the world.
Unlimited Training
To shorten your team’s learning curve, you also get 24/7/365 access to the Altair Community and support resources. All our resources offer an easy-to-understand interface that gets your team up to speed quickly.
A Long-Term Partnership with No Vendor Lock
We ask you to sign an initial three-year agreement, but you can leave it at any time with no questions or penalties. Choice and trust are the bedrock of all successful partnerships – ASAP ensures you’re always in control.
Global Visibility
When you’re ready to show the world what you’ve built, we can leverage our communication channels to help you get the attention of customers and partners.
Educators
With the rapid pace of innovation and ever-changing technology landscape, we know it’s a constant battle to keep teaching methods relevant and effective.
By teaching with Altair’s cutting-edge engineering simulation and data science technology, you can leverage a livelier, more interactive project-based learning environment – which provides useful context and complements the theory and first principles that you’re striving to help your students understand.
