hai builds an eco-minded, smart showerhead system that uses embedded turbines (based on hydroelectric principles) to generate energy from running shower water. The harvested energy powers customizable LED indicators, water-tracking features, a Bluetooth-connected companion app, and over‑the‑air updates for ongoing feature additions. The product was developed by Caravan in partnership with Creative Artists Agency (CAA) and is sold at gethai.com and Bed, Bath & Beyond. Led by co‑founder & CEO Leah Stigile and Leonard Brody, the company plans to expand its retail presence nationwide and accelerate growth across new product lines such as infusions (aromatherapy, hair and skin treatments) and filtration as add‑ons. Hai will also extend technological development into sensors, energy generation improvements, and new spray technology. The company raised $6M in a seed financing to support these initiatives.
