Open what
looks closed.

The short version

I am Konstantin, from Dresden, Germany. Airsup is my second company, and I built the platform myself. I learn mostly by reading a lot, biographies, engineering, physics and the history of how great companies were built, and by always working from the problem instead of falling in love with an idea.

The through line of my work has stayed the same for years: take something that looks closed and open it to more people. First with music, then with manufacturing.

Music, as Pytro

At sixteen I started DJing house parties in Dresden under the name Pytro, then toured more than thirty clubs across Germany while producing music on the side. A remix I released passed a million streams on its own, and I went from playing to five people to thousands singing back the first seconds of a song. In total my music reached over 100 million streams. It taught me distribution, taste, and how to ship creative work relentlessly.

From music to building

With my friend Tade I started a podcast, which grew into HUGE Conversations, and we sat with founders who had built real companies. Reading biographies of people like Jobs and Musk pulled me toward building hardware. Two weeks after my final exams I flew to San Francisco, lived in hacker houses around Berkeley and Palo Alto, and learned the lesson that changed how I work: start from the problem, not the idea. Tade and I wrote down the most important problems we could imagine working on for humanity, and manufacturing and supply chain was the one I could not put down.

The factory floor

So I went to the source. I spent six months embedded on factory floors and traveled to manufacturers across Europe and the United States, slept most of those days inside the factories, and came out with more than fifty vetted manufacturer relationships and a real feel for how a product becomes a repeatable build.

The lesson that stuck: the knowledge that turns an idea into shippable hardware is distributed unfairly. People who spent years around factories know which questions to ask. First time builders do not even know those questions exist. Along the way I was advised on lean in enterprise by Framatome, the world's largest nuclear reactor manufacturer.

Airsup

Airsup closes that gap. One live product record for every part, file, change and supplier, maintained by AI instead of by hand, so any company with more than a prototype can track their hardware the way GitHub tracks software. We launched the public platform in September 2026. Our first contract was sourcing suppliers for RobotEverest, the first humanoid robot attempting Mount Everest.

Where this goes

For me this is not about rockets for their own sake. It is about advancing humanity. Whenever humans entered new and unfamiliar territory, we learned to understand our environment, and it made us who we are. The next territory is space, and we cannot truly go there until we can build there. So the work is a ladder: give every hardware team on Earth the discipline to build well, own and upgrade the factories that make things, and step by step bring manufacturing beyond Earth. The goal is to help humanity make real things, wherever we go next.
