What INVZBL does
INVZBL is a privately held US-based protection technology company, founded in 2021 and headquartered in Austin, Texas (originally Charlotte, NC), operating with 11-50 employees. The company builds and sells UV-C disinfection hardware and indoor air quality solutions targeted primarily at K-12 school districts, with secondary exposure to healthcare, enterprise/government, and hospitality buyers. Its core product portfolio includes Z13 and B3 UV-C disinfection cabinets (operating at 254nm, achieving 99.99% pathogen kill in three minutes and UL listed with automatic shutoff), the N-AIR ceiling-panel air purifier and Air Base One portable unit (HEPA-13 plus carbon plus UV-C), and Envelo, an IoT-based indoor air quality monitoring system that produces an Envelo Rating metric and integrates with HVAC and Building Management Systems. The Z13 cabinet can disinfect up to 100+ phones, 50+ tablets, and 20+ laptops per cycle.
The company's flagship commercial offering is Protect Express, a protection-as-a-service subscription for K-12 device fleets that bundles $0-deductible, unlimited-claim coverage (accidental damage, device failure, battery failure, charging cable failure) with end-to-end FedEx-powered logistics covering pickup, repair, UV-C disinfection, and insured return. Revenue is generated through a mix of recurring Protect Express annual subscriptions, hardware sales of UV-C cabinets and air purifiers across multiple verticals, and recurring Envelo IAQ monitoring services. Distribution combines direct sales into K-12 districts, equipment lease financing through TEQlease Capital, technology distribution via TD SYNNEX, MaxCases, Camcor, Valley, and Konica Minolta, and government procurement contracts awarded through TIPS, OETC, and PEPPM.
Strategic positioning is anchored in a 2022 FedEx logistics partnership that underwrites Protect Express, the 2022 Healthcare Surfaces Institute strategic partnership signaling healthcare vertical intent, and 2023 TIPS vendor status enabling public-sector procurement access. The company was named to The Silicon Review 50 Fastest Growing Companies of 2022 following a reported doubling and re-doubling of headcount, and is led by founder Chuck Morrison (formerly President and CMO of Staymobile), with Scott Knuckles as VP of Customer Success and Alton Martin on the Board of Directors.

INVZBL competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Carrier: Global HVAC and building systems incumbent offering air purification, IAQ sensors, and integrated building controls. Broadly competes with INVZBL's N-AIR and Envelo at the building-systems layer, particularly in schools and commercial facilities.
- Honeywell Building Technologies: Large incumbent providing IAQ monitoring, air purification, and building automation. Overlaps INVZBL's Envelo IAQ and N-AIR value proposition, especially in K-12, healthcare, and government facility retrofits.
- Trane Technologies: Major HVAC manufacturer with IAQ and filtration product lines. Competes with INVZBL's air purification and monitoring products at the facility-management layer of schools and commercial buildings.
Direct peers
- PhoneSoap: Direct competitor in UV-C device sanitization. PhoneSoap sells UV-C phone and small-device sanitizers to consumer, healthcare, and education buyers, overlapping with INVZBL's Z13/B3 cabinets on technology and core use case.
- CleanSlate UV: Specialist UV-C device sanitization provider for healthcare and food-service environments. Comparable to INVZBL in approach (UV-C cabinets for shared devices) and in targeting institutional hygiene compliance buyers.
- R-Zero: UV-C disinfection and IAQ hardware provider for schools, workplaces, and healthcare. Closely overlaps INVZBL's combination of UV-C hardware plus indoor air quality monitoring and analytics.
- AeraMax Professional (Fellowes): Commercial-grade HEPA and carbon air purifiers sold to schools, offices, and healthcare. Directly comparable to INVZBL's Air Base One and N-AIR products on buyer profile and use case.
- Securranty: Device protection and warranty provider serving K-12 and enterprise device programs. Comparable to INVZBL's Protect Express on subscription-style accidental damage coverage and repair logistics.
Emerging players
- Molekule: Premium air purification company using photoelectrochemical oxidation (PECO) technology plus IAQ sensors. Comparable in selling 'healthy air' to schools and enterprises, though via a different core filtration technology.
Others
- TEQlease Capital: Equipment lessor and GTM partner of INVZBL that finances K-12 purchases of UV-C and IAQ hardware. Included as an ecosystem enabler rather than a direct competitor.
