New VC- Backed Company Poised to Revolutionize the World with Groundbreaking new Idea

According to Nestle’s law, if a company can profit off individuals in their time of need, it will profit off individuals in their time of need. And of course, when there’s a gap in the market, there’s a company to fill it. A new Chinese start-up reinforced these concepts by proof of profit, despite concerns about increasing foreign presence in American markets.

The week leading up to Thanksgiving weekend in the U.S saw northern California battling the worst wildfire ever encountered in its history. Smoke from these wildfires led to spikes in the Air Quality Index (AQI) in some cities. AQI measures particulate matter in the air – readings above 100 mean the air is unhealthy for children, the elderly and/or individuals with heart or lung disease. When readings go beyond 150, it is considered to be unhealthy for everyone.

Oh, if only there were a way to decrease the effect of climate change denial on the lives of millions of people. But in the age of mobile devices, you know the saying – “there’s an app for that!”.

Enter Bottlr.ai, a startup based in Lanzhou, China which uses machine learning and trained neural nets to optimally source local air to bottle and sell to consumers. They ambitiously guarantee the air is cruelty free, 100% vegan, non-GMO, fair trade, gluten-free, organic, low carb, fat-free, and not from concentrate.

Lanzhou has an AQI of 158 – breathing here is probably like smoking a cigarette once in a week or two. But it is nothing when compared to some cities in California which have been reading an AQI of 300 in recent days.

“We just want to make the world a better place” says CEO and co-founder Shui Li. “The air is much better here – we want to provide it to less fortunate regions. We’re conscious of the global effort to help with the effects of polluting the environment”.

Currently consumers can purchase the plastic product for $10 USD retail. The company is doing so well that top venture capital firms have drafted competitive funding offers and rumours of acquisition have already begun circulating as Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is posed to meet with the Bottlr.ai team next week.
