Breathe99

In the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for masks is urgent and widespread. The US Dept. of Health and Human Services estimates that 3.5 billion masks will be needed. But supplies are running short even at the US emergency stockpile.

Breathe99, a Minnesota-based social business, is ready to respond. Its first product is the patent-pending B2 Mask, which is a lightweight, reusable respirator that offers industrial-level protection for use in everyday life. Breathe99 has been designing the B2 Mask for the last four years and is ready to ramp up production.

Venn’s PRI will help Breathe99 finalize its B2 Mask design, accelerate its manufacturing timeline, and build a strong salable inventory over the next two years. Your support will help address the severe shortage of masks for health care workers and the general public.
