Matt Dayton quickly realized that the traditional college path wasn’t for him. After leaving school early, he landed a job with a brand-new mold remediation company. He eventually realized that he had his own ideas for how to better service clients, especially those in lower income households, so he rounded up some business partners and investors and started Pure Air. In this episode, Matt talks about how his work impacts those who live with daily fear from the mold growing in their homes and why his mission to give back is foundational to his company’s success.
After working for a number of years in the mold remediation industry, Matt Dayton decided that it was time to start his own company. He saw an opportunity to offer both an affordable and high-quality service to the many low-income households that were being neglected in the Greater Pittsburgh area. He grew up in a low-income household, so he knew that these were the very people that needed this type of service the most.
Matt grew tired of watching underserved families get priced out the market while competitors catered to the high-income end of the price range. So, he invested every last dollar he had and brought in a few partners to get his business off the ground. Four years later, Pure Air is a thriving mold remediation and indoor air quality company, and Matt has plans to expand far beyond our region.
