Philter Labs Closes $1M Funding Round

Philter Labs, a San Diego-based technology company focused on patented, micro-sized air filters that help reduce the impacts of secondhand smoke, recently announced it had received $1 million in new investments as part of a pre-Series A round.

The capital will be used for research and development, building out an extensive product roadmap, and launching what the company says will be first-of-its-kind personal filtration products.

This new round of funding brings Philter’s total to $3 million. Bravos Capital and Explorer Equity both participated in the effort.

Philter Lab’s patented zero-5 technology utilizes a five step filtration process that manipulates smoke and vapor at the molecular level to dissipate up to 97% of emissions and dissolve harmful particulates and pollutants. Also unique to Philter is it’s pocket-sized design, allowing for ease of use and portability.

For over 20 years, the team behind Philter has been working to solve major medical problems, and identify consumer-centric solutions for common issues. Philter also aims to help re-frame popular associations behind controversial human behaviors.

Philter’s technology encourages consumers to practice responsible vaping and empowers them to protect those they love, and the environment, by drastically reducing harmful emissions and airborne contaminants. The company’s overarching mission is to change the way people perceive vaping tobacco and cannabis.

CEO Christos Nicolaidis told Benzinga the goal at Philter Labs is to eliminate the impacts of secondhand smoke and harmful emissions while empowering consumers to vape responsibly.

“This new series of funding builds on our momentum and will allow us to expand on our scientific research and launch new innovative, cutting-edge filtration products," Nicolaidis said. "We want to lead the charge on a cultural shift for cleaner air and a better environment — and hopefully change the way people vape for the better.”
