Israeli air quality analytics provider BreezoMeter today announced the closing of $3 million in series A financing round. Funding was led by Phi Square Holdings, and Entrée Capital, Launchpad Digital Health and SeediL participated in the financing.

BreezoMeter is using the funding to expand its air quality data access globally.

With its global expansion and extended product line, BreezoMeter is exploring new markets to make its personalized data available to more consumers in real time.

Headquartered in Haifa, BreezoMeter was chosen as one of "Globes" 10 most promising startups in 2015.

This funding round will enable us to expand our offerings to reach additional markets with new and innovative products. Our goal is to help corporations to provide meaningful data and actionable recommendations to keep their customers healthy."

Providing accurate air quality data, down to the city block, is vitally important for our health and wellbeing, and BreezoMeter is leading the industry.
