Clarity Movement Co.
Clarity Movement Co. is a Berkeley-based climate-tech company that builds solar-powered, internet-connected air quality sensors and pairs them with a cloud analytics platform sold as 'Sensing-as-a-Service.' Founded by UC Berkeley graduates in 2014, Clarity makes it cheap and easy for governments, schools, communities, and companies to measure pollutants like PM2.5 and NO2 at street level - data that has historically come from a handful of expensive, sparse reference stations. Its flagship Node-S device has been deployed across 250+ cities in 85+ countries, powering networks like Breathe London and Open Air Chicago.
Carepod
Carepod makes the world's simplest and cleanest stainless steel humidifiers - filter-free, three-piece units with hospital-grade interiors that can be sterilized with boiling water. Invented by dentist Dr. Hyung Joo Kim after he found conventional humidifiers were impossible to clean and breeding bacteria, Carepod sells doctor-designed, award-winning humidifiers direct to consumers. After becoming the top-selling humidifier in Korea, the brand launched in the U.S. in 2021 and has shipped hundreds of thousands of units worldwide.
