Back in 2017, airfocus co-founder Malte Scholz encountered a familiar problem as a product manager: there was no dedicated tool built for the job. He knew he had to build it. Bringing along Valentin Firak and Christian Hoffmeister, the three of them set out to create airfocus. Ever since, airfocus has been on a mission to make product management easier by creating a true home for product teams.
In February 2025, Lucid Software, home of Lucidchart and Lucidspark, acquired airfocus, adding it as the third key product in the Lucid offering. This expansion helps product teams manage work and roadmaps in one place, align across teams, and give leaders clear visibility into strategic initiatives, creating a single source of truth from strategy to execution.
airfocus is the new way of product management. We help product teams focus on what really matters: building the right products that deliver real value. Our mission is clear: to make product management clearer, smarter, and more connected.
