What UV Angel does

UV Angel (legal entity UV Partners Inc.) is a Michigan-based technology company that designs, engineers, and assembles UV-C air and surface treatment hardware integrated with an IoT cloud analytics platform. Its product suite centers on UV Angel Clean Air Active, a ceiling-mounted unit that draws air into a sealed UV-C chamber to continuously reduce bacteria, viruses, and fungi in occupied spaces while capturing indoor environmental quality sensor data, and UV Angel Adapt, an intelligent surface treatment device that uses AI-driven detection to autonomously treat high-touch surfaces such as keyboards, touch displays, and utility carts. The UV Angel Cloud platform aggregates device telemetry into facility-wide IAQ scores, predictive mold and contamination spread analytics, and occupancy tracking, with an open API and BACnet integration connecting to building management and HVAC systems. The company also offers environmental testing services (including USP 797/800 compliance), OEM and licensing arrangements, and a partner-facing Angel Analytics portal that ingests data from third-party air treatment systems.

UV Angel monetizes through a combination of capital-equipment hardware sales (Clean Air Active and Adapt units), recurring cloud software subscriptions, OEM/licensing royalties, and professional services. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales with sector-specialized teams covering healthcare, education, military/defense, and corporate/commercial real estate, supplemented by channel distribution (HPA in Australia/New Zealand), OEM embedding, and event-driven demand generation. The company holds at least 12 granted U.S. patents across its surface treatment and cloud platforms, and is led by CEO Tom Byrne and Founder Ted Cole, with a Clinical Advisory Board chaired by Dr. Rob Rothstein and including Harvard/Mass General photomedicine faculty. UV Angel has raised approximately $29.6 million in cumulative funding through 2023 across six rounds, including an $11 million Series A extension led by Pallas Ventures in July 2023.

Core offering

UV Angel designs, engineers, and manufactures ceiling-mounted UV-C air treatment systems (UV Angel Clean Air Active™) and intelligent UV-C surface treatment devices (UV Angel Adapt™), supported by the UV Angel Cloud™ IoT analytics platform with Angel IOT and Angel Analytics. The hardware uses patented sealed UV-C chambers to continuously reduce bacteria, viruses, and fungi in occupied indoor spaces, while the cloud platform aggregates IAQ sensor data, applies AI-based predictive analytics for mold and contamination spread, and exposes an Open API/BACnet interface for integration with HVAC, BMS, and BAS systems. Customers purchase capital equipment plus subscription cloud software and may also license the technology through OEM and white-label arrangements.

Product overview

UV Angel offers a unified air treatment platform comprising hardware devices and software systems. The core hardware includes UV Angel Clean Air Active™ (ceiling-mounted UV-C air treatment for occupied spaces with onboard IAQ sensors) and UV Angel Adapt™ (surface treatment using intelligent UV-C light). These are supported by the UV Angel Cloud™ software platform which provides building health intelligence, IoT connectivity via Angel IOT, and analytics through Angel Analytics. The system reduces concentration of bacteria, viruses, and fungi in treated air, demonstrated in peer-reviewed studies showing 71-89% reduction in airborne bacteria. Additional services include Environmental Testing and OEM/Licensing partnerships.
