Mave Health seed funding for neurotechnology wearables (2026)

2 min read

  • Mave Health is reported to have raised $2.1 million toward a neurotechnology wearable positioned for focus support and stress regulation.1
  • Coverage describes the product lane as consumer neurofeedback or light neuromodulation adjacent to consumer BCI-style applications, and characterizes the round as seed-scale.1
  • A second item states the company intends to use funding to bring neurotechnology wearables to global markets (Indian Startup Times via Google News).1
  • The $2.1M seed round was led by Blume Ventures with participation from Inuka Capital, Stanford Angels, All In Capital, Aureolis Ventures, and angel investors including founders of Groww; it follows an earlier $750K pre-seed round in November 2023, bringing total funding to approximately $2.8M.2
  • Mave Health was founded in 2023 by Dhawal Jain (CEO), Jai Sharma, and Aman Kumar; the company is headquartered in San Francisco and Bengaluru.3
  • The device — branded Arc — uses transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), delivering low-intensity electrical stimulation to the prefrontal cortex in 20-minute daily sessions to improve focus, mood, and stress regulation.4
  • Arc is priced at $495 with no subscription fees and was available for pre-order ahead of a US and India launch in April 2026; early enterprise deployments were reported at Google, UFC, and Y Combinator.5
  • The company completed a 500-person beta prior to the seed announcement and is scaling manufacturing to support simultaneous US and Indian market launch.2
  • tDCS technology has been studied for over 25 years as a non-invasive cognitive enhancement and mood modulation tool; Mave positions Arc as a consumer-grade delivery of clinical-grade brain stimulation research.3
  • The neurotech wearable market was projected at approximately $21 billion by 2026 (MarketsandMarkets, 2024), with consumer-facing devices increasingly bridging clinical neuromodulation and wellness applications.5
