Abstract

The case focuses on an Israeli startup that provides actionable air pollution data and forecasts. The company has over 50 enterprise customers and its tool reached a million people daily in 67 countries. The co-founders wrestle with which markets and customers to focus on given resource constraints. Should they focus on the current top segments and cease marketing and customization efforts for other verticals or market the venture's product broadly? How should it price its product for different uses in different markets?
