Airnauts

Airnauts is a design and technology studio founded in Warsaw, Poland, with offices in New York and Paris. The company has spent 12 years building products for over 200 clients across startups and established corporations. It operates with 80+ experts and maintains a founder-led model—at least one co-founder is assigned as internal project owner on every engagement.

The studio structures its work around three pillars: strategy, design, and technology. On the strategy side, Airnauts runs challenge identification, market and user research, gap analysis, and value proposition work. Design services span product design, website design, UX, graphic design, content design, prototyping, branding, and naming. On the technology front, the firm handles frontend and backend development, mobile apps, DevOps and cloud infrastructure, headless CMS work, QA, blockchain, low-code platforms, and AI services including AI agents, co-pilots, and predictive systems.

Services and capabilities

Airnauts' tech stack includes cloud platforms (AWS, Google Cloud, Shopify), modern frameworks and tools (Next.js, headless CMS solutions), and payment processors. The company also works with low-code builders and serverless functions. Beyond traditional dev work, they've built insurtech platforms, VR experiences, interactive 3D and AR activations, and blockchain applications.
