ABOUT US · ESTABLISHED 2026
Environmental science, brought home.
Mould Detect helps people find mould early, understand what it means for their health and their home, and get it fixed by the right people. One photo gives an AI reading. From there the app connects you to Mould Edu, advice from Miss Mould, lab testing with approved partners like CDES, and soon, vetted remediation specialists.
OUR MISSION
Holistic solutions to human health challenges, with a focus on improving the environments people live in.
It starts with healthier homes.
Mould is the new asbestos.
WHAT GUIDES US
Three commitments.
A natural core. Remediation that works with nature, not against it. Non-toxic, preventative, and proven.
AI with expertise behind it. Advanced detection models built alongside mycological labs and working remediation professionals.
Proactive care. Finding issues before they reach your lungs, your walls or your bond.
THE FOUNDING TEAM · 7 PEOPLE
Seven people who know buildings, health and AI, building one place to find, understand and fix mould.
