Sparrow’s AI-powered, patent-pending device delivers street-level air, wildfire, climate & noise data—bridging a major gap. As DaaS, we unlock $50B+ TAM in health, wellness, real estate & more.
Current Status
Sparrow has deployed in 5 Swiss cities in one month, with active partnerships including Swiss Post, FedEx, and GeoPost. Our sensor fleet has scanned over 1 million miles, covering 2.1 million people and delivering real-time environmental intelligence. We’ve generated $350K ARR in the last 12 months and raised $1M in funding to date. Our APIs are live and in use, enabling data-driven decisions in health, mobility, real estate, and public planning. Production capacity is 200 sensors/month in Switzerland, with plans to scale through global partnerships.
Problem or Opportunity
Sparrow solves the lack of real-time, high-resolution environmental data by combining mobile sensor networks and AI. Mounted on fleets, our Sparrow Nodes scan cities street-by-street, collecting real data on air quality, noise, and road conditions. AI models analyze this data to detect pollution sources, predict patterns, and power smart decision-making. Our solution empowers health apps, urban planning, mobility, and insurance with actionable insights—enabling cleaner, safer cities and personalized services.
Solution (product or service)
Sparrow equips fleets with mobile multi-sensor devices that collect real-time, street-level environmental data—air pollution, noise, and road quality—tagged with GPS and timestamps. This data is sent to the cloud, where AI and ML algorithms analyze it to identify pollution patterns, detect anomalies, predict hotspots, and model environmental behavior over time. The processed insights are delivered via scalable APIs, enabling integration into health, mobility, real estate, and smart city platforms. Our AI-powered system transforms urban areas into intelligent, self-monitoring environments, supp
Business model
Sparrow operates a Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) model. We deploy sensors via partner fleets and collect high-resolution environmental data. Clients—ranging from tech platforms to health, mobility, real estate, and public sectors—access this data through subscription-based APIs or custom analytics. Pricing is per 1,000 API calls, with optional tailored reports and integrations. We share 25% of revenue with fleet partners, ensuring scalable, low-cost data acquisition. Our model is asset-light, recurring, and positioned for exponential growth as data demand accelerates.
