Our Story

Born under the sun, engineered into the fiber.

NEAU was born from a 12-year journey across 40+countries. Enduring extreme environmental exposure, our founder recognized a critical failure in traditional gear: heavy fabrics trap heat, and surface coatings quickly wash away.

We realized that true, lasting UV defense cannot rely on a temporary treatmentโ€”it must be built into the yarn itself. This insight drove us to redefine the industry standard, leading to the creation of UV Protection 3.0.

OUR FOUNDER

Meet Hanson

a passionate traveler with sensitive skin โ€” spent over 12 years exploring 40+ countries, enduring countless sunburns and skin discomfort along the way. Sunscreens alone werenโ€™t enough. Most UV-protection clothing was too hot, ineffective, or simply unwearable.

What if UV protection could be truly effective โ€” and actually stylish?

NEAU is proudly backed by Peak XV Partners (formerly Sequoia Capital India & Southeast Asia), one of the worldโ€™s leading venture capital firms investing in category-defining consumer and technology companies across North America and Asia.
