Welcome to Vitaliti!

We are three women who have come together to form Vitaliti, a company focused on human health and wellness. An underrepresented category of health is indoor air quality, specifically mold. This is why we created our product, Spore.

Spore is an at home mold spore monitor, which automatically and continuously detects mold spores in the environment, similar to a carbon monoxide detector. Currently around 70% of homes have mold in them, yet there is no product on the market that continuously and automatically monitors mold spores in the environment. By focusing on the detection of mold, we hope to address the situation before it escalates, saving users time and money and ultimately preserving their health and well-being.

Spore has its roots in one of our founder’s dear friends who developed an auto-immune disorder due to a two year Aspergillus Penicillium Mold and Black Mold exposure in her house in Tennessee. Our friend and her family were forced to evacuate their home for remediation and left to relocate. Today, she still deals with lingering health effects due to her toxic mold exposure.

Have you or a family member been affected by mold? Share your story via this form so that we can gather data on the scope of mold’s negative health effects among our community.
