The Aō VISION

WE’RE IN BUSINESS, TO GO OUT OF BUSINESS.

THE WORLD AS IT IS

Today, air pollution kills over 7 million people every year. That’s roughly one person every four and a half seconds. 13 people a minute.

Air pollution related illness is the fastest growing cause of death in Asia. Nearly 25% of all deaths in India, and 65% of deaths in central Asia are air pollution related.

Air pollution from Asia can travel as far as central California where 90% of residents breathe unhealthy levels of one or more air pollutants at some point during every year. The EU spends €161 billion a year [1] due to loss of life caused by airborne pollutants. That number rises to $225 billion globally [2].

Currently, basic, disposable filtration masks are the main “solution” globally. A higher-end option is stretch nylon with small carbon filters. Neither create a true, airtight seal, both smudge makeup, and both diminish your ability to breathe.

THE WORLD AS IT SHOULD BE.

Allow us to explain. We do not accept the world as it is. We envision a better one. We have the power to help shape that world, so we will. We will be a significant part of the change we want to see.

Our ultimate dream is a world with clean, pure air for everyone. That’s a world that has no need for products like ours.

So you see, one could say that the goal of our business, is to go out of business. Of course, we’re not there yet, but we’re working on it.

AŌ. LET’S GO

We will push for a better world. We will innovate a cleaner, healthier future.

We will partner with best-in-class influencers, investors, environmental groups, charities, and NGO’s and together, stand on the shoulders of giants.

We will move toward a vision of a better world for us, and those of us yet to come. Until companies like ours, are no longer needed.

Only then will we finally be the ones, that can breathe a little easier.
