Internal R&D Innovations
Empowered Startups helps entrepreneurs while also working on our own ventures. Here are some internal R&D innovations we are working on that have given us first-hand experience collaborating with governments and universities to access funding, engineers, doctors, and testing labs—proving that we practice what we preach when it comes to launching and scaling globally.
Breathe with Comfort and Confidence
Lungz protects you by filtering 99.97% of harmful airborne particles. All day comfort, uncompromised protection.
Protect yourself and those you love from toxic smog
Designed for athletes, wildland firefighters, and people with breathing-related concerns this commercial-grade respirator withstands the toughest conditions and protects you.
- Active Airflow Respirator – Continuous fresh air ensures unfiltered air doesn’t sneak in through gaps.
- Instant Fit, No Fit Test Required – Most respirators require a tight seal to protect you; ours uses positive airflow, so no fit test is required.
- Beard & eyewear friendly – No need to shave or struggle with foggy glasses—fits comfortably with both.
- N100 protection – Filters away from your face.
Wildfire smoke is 10x more toxic than urban smog – No exposure is safe
It’s filled with hazardous levels of PM2.5—tiny toxic particles that can penetrate your lungs.
Wildfire smoke is the leading source of PM2.5 in the Western U.S. and Canada.
The problem is getting worse. The acreage burned in wildfires in the U.S. and Canada has doubled each decade since 1990.
Made possible with partnerships and expertise
For 5 years Empowered Startups has been working on developing a consumer level respirator that meets the needs of first-responders to consumers who want clean air. Working with The Government of Canada, University of Toronto and the University of British Columbia engineers, we’ve designed and developed this unique venture for our time.
