Climatic (Climatic Health), a New York-based digital wellness startup focusing on daily lung health, secured $10 million in a recent Seed funding round.
Early-stage New York City-based venture capital firm, Lerer Hippeau, led the latest investment round with participation from BBG Ventures (BBGV), Brand Foundry, Cade Ventures, Good Friends, and Space Station.
Emerging from stealth with the latest Seed funds, Climatic Health is set to start 2026 with a clear roadmap and ambitious expansion plans. Climatic said the newly secured funds will go toward expanding its team, launching the first product in late spring 2026, and conducting additional respiratory research with partners like Mount Sinai.
Climatic Journey
Eric Kau, Climatic’s co-founder and CEO, spent more than a decade building consumer brands at Chewy, Amazon, and later Seed Health. But over time, his work began to overlap with personal experience.
“I’ve spent the last twelve to fourteen years building consumer brands, consumer platforms, and over the last five to six years, really honed in on human health,” he told Refresh Miami. His time at Seed, he added, revealed “this swath of academic research and scientific infrastructure that exists in the United States to build products that are not drugs and bring things to market that have efficacy.”
Commenting on the investment, Lerer Hippeau said:
“Climatic will be the first daily lung health system to hit the market. Climatic’s vision is rooted in the idea that lung health should no longer be reserved for reactive responses to crises. With the rise of wildfires, worsening pollution, and urban air quality concerns, environmental exposure has become a part of daily life. To meet the moment, lung health must become a critical wellness pillar.
Climatic aims to give people the tools they need to make lung care just as habitual as other lasting health habits. Moreover, the company’s future roadmap includes additional products aimed at tackling environmental health needs and expanding the principal kinds of care necessary for today’s evolving conditions.”
