Value proposition
AI copilot for safety teams that transforms fragmented, unstructured incident data into clear, evidence-based findings — helping organizations investigate faster, uncover systemic risk earlier, and prevent serious injuries before they occur
Products and solutions
havenSIGHT (automatic witness statements, image processing, frontline observations), havenEDGE (incident analysis, causal pattern surfacing, corrective action recommendations), havenIMPACT (outcome tracking, leading indicators of future risk)
Unique value
First AI-native safety intelligence platform co-founded with a global energy company (AES) and Andrew Ng's AI Fund; combines structured industry knowledge graph with modern AI for multi-modal reasoning (images, voice, documents); closed-loop system from capture to analysis to action to verification
Target customer
Enterprise safety teams in high-risk industries: energy & utilities, construction, manufacturing, and logistics
Industries served
Energy and utilities, Construction, Manufacturing, Logistics
Technology advantage
AI-native architecture (not bolted-on AI to legacy EHS); multi-modal reasoning across images, voice, and documents; structured industry knowledge graph; guided witness statements; automatic evidence gathering; timeline synthesis; root cause identification; corrective action recommendations grounded in regulatory standards; growing institutional memory for predictive insights
How they differentiate
Unlike traditional EHS platforms (VelocityEHS, Cority, Gensuite) that are compliance-focused with AI features bolted on, Haven is AI-native from the ground up — purpose-built for incident investigation intelligence, root cause analysis, and proactive prevention rather than just reporting and compliance tracking
Main competitors
VelocityEHS, Cority, Benchmark Gensuite
Key partnerships
The AES Corporation (co-founder, strategic partner, first enterprise customer), AI Fund (venture studio co-founder, investor), NAEM (research partnership on AI in EHS and Sustainability)
