Ambee — Air Quality Monitoring App
Overview
Built the Flutter-based air quality monitoring app for Ambee, a climate intelligence startup with enterprise clients including Bayer, GSK, and Kimberly-Clark. We partnered with Ambee through their seed funding campaign and helped grow the app to 100K+ downloads.
The Challenge
Ambee had real-time air quality data from a network of sensors and APIs but no consumer-facing mobile product to showcase it. They needed an app that made complex environmental data legible for everyday users — and credible enough to support enterprise sales and fundraising conversations.
What We Built
We built a Flutter app displaying real-time AQI, pollen, weather, and fire data with location-based monitoring, health recommendations based on air quality levels, and push notifications for threshold alerts. The data visualisation was designed to be clean and non-technical — making the product accessible to a non-specialist audience while still satisfying enterprise reviewers.
Results
The app grew to 100K+ downloads and supported Ambee's seed funding raise. Ambee's enterprise client roster — Bayer, GSK, Kimberly-Clark — used the consumer app as a proof-of-concept for the underlying data platform. The Flutter codebase shipped simultaneously to iOS and Android, reducing time-to-market by approximately 40% versus native development.

Questions & Answers
You 'partnered with Ambee through their seed funding campaign' — what does that mean?
We came on board early — before their seed round closed — and helped Ambee build the consumer mobile product they needed to demonstrate the platform's potential to enterprise buyers and investors. The app became a tangible proof-of-concept that supported their fundraise.
Why Flutter instead of native iOS and Android?
Ambee needed to ship to both platforms quickly on a startup budget. Flutter let us build one codebase that ran natively on both iOS and Android, cutting time-to-market by approximately 40% compared to separate native apps.
Are you open to working with early-stage startups?
Yes. We regularly work with seed and pre-seed companies. We understand the constraints of early-stage product work — speed, budget discipline, and getting to a shippable MVP without over-engineering.
