As part of Global Entrepreneurship Week, GEN is spotlighting founders in the GEN Starters Club to share news about their companies and how they are celebrating the movement this year. Today, we're featuring Sensosan, a pioneering startup from Italy making waves in the indoor air quality sector. Co-founded by Bernald Leone, Nicola Lattanzi, and Carlo Bagnoli, Sensosan stands at the forefront of improving not just physical health, but also mental well-being through its advanced air quality solutions.
Pauly Suchy, Director for Startup Programs at GEN: So Bernald, how long have you been involved with GEN and how do you plan on celebrating entrepreneurship in your community this month?
Bernald Leone, Co-Founder at Sensosan: I’ve been involved for about one year and I plan to celebrate entrepreneurship this month with different activities culminating in an institutional event with the Italian Embassy in Singapore and with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and its Innovation Unit at Main Hall and Ministry Headquarters in Rome.
Pauly: Could you share the inspiration behind Sensosan's inception and how your previous experiences shaped its formation?
Bernald: From the evolution of my experience with three exits and the vision to improve neurophysiology health and wellbeing by a simple way: breathing. Mental health will be the 'cancer' of the next century.
Pauly: In what ways does Sensosan address the heightened global concern for indoor air quality and its impact on our health?
Bernald: The post-Covid era has heightened awareness about indoor air quality. Indoor pollution leads to 3.8 million deaths yearly. We understand now that the quality of the air we breathe directly impacts our neurophysiology health and overall wellbeing.
Pauly: Can you describe the range of industries and customers that Sensosan caters to and how it benefits them?
Bernald: Our product's customer/user base is remarkably diverse, encompassing a wide range of industries and businesses. The initial target market for the Sensosan platform are: hotel industry, corporations, healthcare sector, and retail stores.
Pauly: Could you elaborate on Sensosan’s unique product offerings and how they stand out in the market?
Bernald: Sensosan offers a unique platform with air nebulizers + air fluid pods. We offer clusters air wellbeing, air safety, air functional with different choices, and our customers can choose the air in indoor environments, just as with with a Nespresso you choose a coffee.
Pauly Suchy: What distinguishes Sensosan from its competitors, making it the preferred choice for your customers?
Bernald: Unique and cutting-edge technology that automates and optimizes all hotel spaces, a meticulously validated process, a cloud-based solution, unmatched patented technology and continuous scientific research addressing emerging challenges.
Pauly: What does the future look like for your industry and what should consumers and investors know about this market?
Bernald: Based on WHO data, after COVID, mental health diseases increase on average 20% yearly of the whole global population. Mental health will be one of first three health drivers in the next century. Global consumers need to know a huge impact of this and how they can prevent it. Our actual target customers improve their value proposition in this area to enhance the experience for their employees and customers helping to create awareness for consumers and investors based on this significant data that can have a huge ROI and can maximize their ESG rating from environmental to significant value in social instances.
