BreezoMeter

What BreezoMeter does

BreezoMeter was an Israeli environmental intelligence company founded in 2014 and headquartered in Haifa. The company built a platform that aggregated and processed environmental data — air quality, pollen, wildfire tracking, and weather — and delivered it primarily as B2B APIs to enterprise customers across three core verticals: healthcare, smart home, and automotive. Its core technology specialized in hyper-local, real-time environmental monitoring by fusing sensor, satellite, and modeling inputs into location- and time-specific environmental intelligence suitable for embedding in third-party applications.

The company operated an API-first go-to-market motion with a subscription-based recurring revenue model, targeting OEMs, connected device manufacturers, and digital health platforms. Notable customers and end-use cases included in-vehicle air quality monitoring, smart home device environmental awareness, and health applications addressing rising air pollution awareness. BreezoMeter progressively expanded its product surface from air quality into adjacent environmental data categories such as pollen and weather.

In July 2021, BreezoMeter raised a $30 million Series C round led by Fortissimo Capital and Entrée Capital. In 2022, Google acquired the company for over $200 million, and BreezoMeter's environmental intelligence technology was integrated into Google Maps Platform's Environment suite — including the Air Quality, Pollen, Solar, and Weather APIs — where it continues to operate as part of Google's geospatial data products rather than as an independent entity.
