Our Story

We're on a mission to make better public health products accessible to all.

Breathe99 is redesigning public health solutions from the ground up. Our B2 Mask combines the best in industrial protection and lifestyle design to deliver peace of mind to those in need of respiratory protection.

We started Breathe99 because we believe the world can and should be a healthy and equitable place to live. This conviction was informed by our team's collective experiences living in places where poor air quality plays a significant role in people's daily lives. As a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC), our goal is to not only design products that play a vital role in protecting human welfare, but to reimagine how public health tools are distributed in order to create the broadest possible impact on human health.

We thank you for your support of our business and invite you along on our journey to become healthy together.

Our Team's values

We are engineers, nanotechnologists, and ex-googlers who envision a healthy and equitable world. Our values guide our mission to increase access to high-quality public health goods that ensure a healthy, resilient, and sustainable society:

An ethic of reciprocity.

We treat customers, partners, and team members the way we want to be treated. We seek to understand other people’s perspectives and to act in a way that earns their trust.

Don't be a bystander.

We feel a collective responsibility to make the world a cleaner, safer place to live. When we encounter a problem we are proactive and take ownership of finding a solution.

Learn by doing.

We create meaningful impact by working with and learning from the communities we serve. We love to ask questions, test our assumptions, and iterate on our designs.

Health as a human right.

We believe that every person deserves access to basic health resources. We work to empower individuals and communities, especially those who have been historically underserved.
