Airly raised a $3.3 million in a round led by firstminute capital

Airly, a Krakow, Poland and Palo Alto, USA-based operator of an air quality platform, announced it has raised $3.3 million in a new capital funding round.

The money was raised from investors led by firstminute capital, an early-stage venture fund based in London, and included contributions from angel investors Uber founder Garrett Camp via Expa, Bolt CEO Markus Villig, founding Editor-in-Chief of WIRED David Rowan, Pipedrive founder Ragnar Sass and Ferry Heilemann, co-founder of Leaders for Climate Action.

Existing shareholders including Sir Richard Branson Family Office and Henkel board member Konstantin von Unger also participated in the round.  

Airly, founded in 2015 by CEO Wiktor Warchałowski, provides actionable insights about air quality with its AI-driven algorithms that predict air pollution for the next 24 hours with verifiability of up to 95%. The firm gives customers across the globe an environmental intelligence platform by installing networks of sensors that track all the key pollution markers – particulate matter (PM1, PM2.5, PM10) and gases (NO2, O3, SO2 and CO). Airly’s R&D department is also partnering with mobility companies to roll out sensor-equipped cars & scooters to track air quality with even higher resolution.

Airly previously raised $2m in pre-seed funding from Giant Ventures and a range of European angel investors in 2020.
