Founded in 2019 by tech entrepreneurs, David Jacobs and Olivier Zucker, Safety Beacon is the personal safety app helping you, your friends and family stay safe at the touch of a button.
Experienced in developing apps for festivals worldwide (they founded Clarifi Media back in 2014), Olivier and David heard countless stories from young people who loved going to gigs and festivals with friends but struggled to stay together as a group. More often than not they’d lose their mates and found it difficult to communicate their exact whereabouts. Parents were also expressing concerns about their teens going off to festivals for the first time.
Olivier and David thought, ‘we can build an app to help with that’. And the duo quickly realised a personal safety tool on your mobile would come in handy for people in all sorts of situations.
So many situations might need a safety alarm.
When you’re out running in the evening when it’s dark. Working the night shift. Starting secondary school and using public transport on your own for the first time. Starting university and you - and your parents - want peace of mind. And even when you’re on a blind date that’s not going so great and you want a convenient excuse to get out of there!
Safety Beacon app helps you alert friends and family to your exact location via siren, text or GPS-streaming, making it the perfect pocket companion for peace of mind - all at the touch of a button
