They believe everyone has the right to breathe clean air—and they’re closing the global air quality data gap with IoT-enabled sensors and cloud-based analytics. Their goal: equip cities, industries, and communities with the tools to take meaningful action on air pollution.
Clarity’s end-to-end air quality monitoring solution helps cities and organizations deploy dense sensor networks that supplement sparse regulatory monitors. Real-time data from the Clarity Dashboard helps pinpoint pollution hotspots and guide actions—like clean air zones or traffic interventions. Their scalable, cost-effective approach enables rapid deployments that lead to smarter, data-driven policy.
Clarity has deployed over 10,000 sensors across 250+ cities in 85+ countries (see map). Their systems collect billions of air quality data points in diverse environments—from London to Bishkek to Manila. Their impact spans megacities, island nations, school districts, industrial sites, and more—wherever better air quality data is needed.
Founded in 2014 by UC Berkeley grads, Clarity began as a student-led project focused on solving global air pollution through tech innovation. After early deployments in Mexico and India, the team scaled up a mission-driven company rooted in environmental engineering and data science. Today, they continue to grow globally while staying true to their founding ethos: using technology to improve public health.
Clarity’s culture is built on integrity, curiosity, and impact. Values like “Give & take ownership” and “Stay hungry, stay foolish” reflect a startup mindset committed to continuous learning. Their Data Promise emphasizes transparency, privacy, and user ownership. They aim to empower customers—not just sell to them—and foster an inclusive, mission-driven team environment.
Clarity works with governments, community groups, businesses, and research institutions. Cities like Los Angeles and Paris use Clarity to expand regulatory monitoring. NGOs use it for environmental justice. Ports and industrial sites use it for fenceline monitoring. Data is shared via OpenMap, APIs, or dashboards—making air quality transparent and actionable.
