Memo

When we opened our first community round, 434 investors joined us to help put everyday radiation protection on the map. What has happened since then has exceeded anything we imagined. In two years, the company has transformed:

  1. Grew revenue from $3.8M in 2024 to on track for $26M this year — profitably.
  2. Secured 3 contracts with the U.S. Air Force to adapt WaveStopper® for aircrew, with EMF-defense language now moving through Congress.
  3. Became HSA/FSA eligible, with over 1,800 doctors recommending HAVN — none of them paid.
  4. Nearly doubled our customer base to 120,000+, with over a third of new customers coming from word of mouth.
  5. Launched products our community loves — including our WaveStopper® blankets, an instant favorite — with a full pipeline of new products on the way.

The mission hasn't changed. The company has. We're no longer just building the technology — we're deploying it in the field, from your home to the cockpit.

This is your chance to step in at a pivotal moment and help make everyday radiation protection the global standard. Join us 🛡️!


Right now, invisible waves are passing through you: from the phone in your pocket, the router on your desk, the 5G tower down the street.

There are already tens of billions of connected devices on earth, and that number is heading toward 55 billion by 2030. Exposure is not a choice anymore. It's the environment.

Over 2,000 peer-reviewed studies have linked this kind of exposure to increased risks of cancer, DNA damage, and long-term health effects. 1 out of 5 adults in the U.S. are already concerned about their own exposure. And the device count only goes one way: up.


Cigarettes. Asbestos. Lead. Microplastics. Each was everywhere before the world admitted the risk. And the companies that solved it first were the ones that won.

And this is the part most people haven't noticed yet: the institutions whose job is to weigh this risk are all moving in the same direction.

  1. The WHO classifies RF-EMF as a Class 2B possible carcinogen — and it is under review for escalation.
  2. In January 2026, the FDA updated its EMF page and removed its old cell-phone safety conclusions based on new research.
  3. Major insurance carriers now exclude EMF liability from standard policies — the way they once carved out asbestos.
  4. Verizon and AT&T disclose RF health-effect litigation to their own shareholders as an uninsured, material risk.
  5. The military is investing in building EMF protection (with HAVN!), and EMF-defense legislation is in Congress for 2027.

In fifteen years, the official posture has moved in one direction only: toward more concern, never less. Europe is already there: nearly 1 in 2 European adults worry about EMF, versus 1 in 5 in the US today. The US is following in Europe's footsteps, and awareness only compounds.

EMF exposure is inevitable. Protection won't be optional. HAVN is the brand built to own the solution before the rest of the world catches up.


WaveStopper® is our patented fabric, woven with pure silver fibers that form an invisible shield, blocking over 99% of phone, WiFi and 5G radiation before it reaches your body.

With years of development, millions of dollars invested in R&D, and multiple patents filed, WaveStopper® is the only scientifically proven solution to conveniently block EMF in everyday life. Its efficiency has been tested and certified by independent military-grade labs (Eurofins MET Labs, Emitech) to IEEE-299 and EN62209-2 standards.

We built the Gore-Tex for radiation protection: lab-tested and certified to military-grade standards, yet soft, washable and built for everyday wear. It even keeps working past 300 washes.


The U.S. military doesn't buy wellness trends. It buys what works.

  1. Military aircrew face significantly elevated cancer rates — a congressionally mandated DoD study of ~900,000 service members found 24% higher overall cancer rates among aircrew, including 87% higher melanoma. Causes remain under investigation, and cockpit radiation is a prime suspect.
  2. Military aviation mishaps cost an average of $1.5B a year and pilot lives — with EMF investigated as a factor.
  3. A 2025 DARPA-funded study was conducted on EMF's impact on cognition and flight performance.

HAVN holds 3 contracts with the U.S. Air Force, 1 completed and 2 active with the Air Force Research Laboratory, to adapt WaveStopper® shielding for military environments, supported by 17 letters of support and EMF-defense legislation moving through Congress.

Congress is now directing the Air Force to act. The proposed FY2027 National Defense Authorization Act directs the Air Force to assess the passive EMF-protective textiles AFRL is currently evaluating, and the program they're assessing is HAVN's WaveStopper®.

In letters of support, senior Air Force leaders have described this effort as an urgent operational and strategic priority — wearable protection that requires no aircraft modification, no cockpit retrofit, and no new training, deployable the same way Ground Collision Avoidance Systems were: by protecting people before tragedy occurs.

HAVN is a contractor to the Air Force Research Laboratory. The Department of War does not endorse any company or its products.


HAVN created the world's first EMF-blocking clothing for everyday wear. From beanies to shirts, underwear, and blankets, each product line is designed to shield vital areas like the brain, chest, and reproductive organs.

Our garments, home goods, and accessories offer comprehensive protection — shielding you from EMF radiation, blocking 99.5% of UV rays, and naturally antimicrobial and odor-resistant. Our fibers are pure silver: non-toxic, free from nanoparticles, hypoallergenic, and durable.


Our consumer fundamentals are off the charts: 120,000+ customers, 300,000+ products sold, and a return rate under 4% versus 15–25% for the apparel industry. We are profitable on acquisition, with incredible retention numbers. And 1,800+ physicians recommend HAVN, unpaid, with HSA/FSA eligibility lowering the effective price for customers.

Because once you try it, you don't go back. Once you buy in, you can't un-use it — EMF protection is like a seatbelt.

Our customers are our best advocates: over a third of new customers come from word of mouth, and the feedback has been incredible: more than 5,000 five-star reviews sharing stories of better sleep, clearer focus, and peace of mind.

Customer UGCs


In our customer benefits survey (1,435 respondents, self-reported): 67% report better sleep, 63% report less brain fog, and 50% report better cognition and memory.

Early independent testing points the same way: EEG testing at an independent neuro institute showed reduced EMF-associated brain stress when wearing HAVN headwear, and independent HRV testing showed ~19% improvement.


HAVN is also worn by professional athletes across the NFL, NBA, NHL and UFC

people whose careers depend on recovery, sleep and performance.


Rudy Gobert is a 4× NBA Defensive Player of the Year, 3× All-Star, and 2× Olympic silver medalist. His body is his business: he has built a 12+ year career at the top of the most demanding league in the world on sleep, recovery, and the marginal gains most people never think about.

After two years as a regular customer, Rudy didn't just become a HAVN investor, he became our brand ambassador. He wears WaveStopper® as part of his daily routine, and he backs the company because he believes proactive protection is where health is going. He is joined by strategic investors and advisors including the former President of Lululemon and the founder of a $1.5B+ defense-gear manufacturer, alongside venture funds behind brands like Dollar Shave Club, Liquid Death, and MeUndies.

When the people whose careers depend on their bodies — elite athletes, pilots, physicians — start choosing EMF protection, that tells you where this category is going.


With our community's help, we grew from $3.8M in 2024 to on track for $26M this year. We've been profitable since 2025. That growth wasn't bought with burn: it came from products people love, customers who stay, and acquisition that pays for itself.

Confidential, for discussion purposes only. Forward-looking projections are not guaranteed.

What takes us past $100M:

  1. Channel expansion — influencer, podcast, YouTube, TikTok, CTV and beyond.
  2. Product expansion — more categories our community keeps asking for.
  3. The path to military standard issue — EMF language in Congress and the Air Force requirement we're helping define.

And the market we lead is just opening up. The US opportunity alone is $10B+ — roughly 3× that globally — and we already lead the category that exists. As US awareness catches up to Europe, the reachable market doubles.


Gore-Tex doesn't make most of the jackets that carry its name — it owns the standard, and earns on everyone else's products. That's the long-term model for WaveStopper®.

As EMF protection becomes expected, WaveStopper® is positioned to become the certified EMF-safety standard — licensed across apparel, uniforms, and home goods, so other brands build their products on our proprietary technology. On the military side, the same path compounds: from today's Air Force contracts toward broader adoption across services and, over time, standard issue for high-exposure roles.

Three engines, one fabric: our own consumer brand today, defense scaling now, and licensing that turns WaveStopper® into the category's infrastructure.


We're raising $2M — and with our current contract, we qualify for a non-dilutive 1:1 Air Force matching program. For every $1 you invest, HAVN can potentially deploy $2 to grow faster, with no additional dilution.

Matching funds are subject to program qualification and are not guaranteed.

Use of proceeds: 40% brand & marketing, 20% scaling the team, 20% military R&D, 20% new products — to extend our lead as the world's leading EMF-shielding platform.



Arthur Menard de Calenge — Founder & CEO. Leading EMF expert, Forbes 30 Under 30, three-time founder. MS Engineering & Biology, HEC Paris MBA.

Karl Brandt — Chief Marketing Officer. Scaled his own DTC brand past $30M before joining HAVN. Now runs the engine behind 120K+ customers and <4% returns.

Backed by strategic investors and advisors helping us build toward a billion-dollar company — including Rudy Gobert, the former President of Lululemon, and funds behind Dollar Shave Club, MeUndies, and Liquid Death.


We believe the brands of tomorrow are built with their community. You proved it: with your help, HAVN went from an idea 434 people believed in to a profitable company protecting 120,000+ people, under contract with the U.S. Air Force.

Our vision is to lead the global market in EMF protection — raising awareness of the category, creating better products, and protecting more people every year. This round is your chance to own a piece of that: to help us grow past $100M, build the next leading consumer health brand, and set the standard the rest of the world will follow.

Join us in protecting humanity from EMF.

Exposure is inevitable. Protection won't be optional. Be part of the brand making it happen.
