Safer Technologies is a B2B SaaS startup founded in 2016 in Austin, Texas, offering a white-label mobile security platform that enables quick access to first responders during emergencies.[1][2] Originally known as Campus Watch, it serves horizontal companies by providing location tracking and alert features to enhance personal safety, solving the problem of delayed response times in dangerous situations through everyday mobile technology.[1][2][3] With 1-10 employees, self-funded operations, and leadership from CEO Freddy del Barrio and COO Paolo Soriano, the company focuses on communications software for preventive protection.[1]
Safer Technologies emerged in 2016 when founders Freddy del Barrio (CEO) and Paolo Soriano (COO) launched it as a startup in Austin, initially under the name Campus Watch.[1][2] The idea stemmed from combining mobile technology with real-world safety needs, aiming to empower users to protect themselves by instantly tracking locations and dispatching first responders.[1][2][3] Early traction built on its rebranding to Safer Technologies, establishing a local HQ and self-funded growth with a small team of 1-10 employees.[1]
Safer Technologies rides the wave of personal safety tech and mobile-first emergency response, amplified by rising demand for real-time security amid urban growth and public safety concerns.[2][3] Timing aligns with widespread smartphone adoption and IoT advancements, where market forces like increasing lone-worker risks and campus violence drive B2B adoption in sectors like education and corporate security.[1][2] It influences the ecosystem by pioneering white-label models, enabling scalable safety tools that lower barriers for non-tech companies to offer responder-linked protections.[1]
Safer Technologies is poised for expansion through partnerships in high-risk industries like logistics and education, leveraging AI-enhanced tracking for proactive alerts. Trends like 5G ubiquity and regulatory pushes for workplace safety will accelerate growth, potentially drawing acquisition interest from larger comms platforms. Its influence may evolve from niche startup to standard B2B safety layer, reinforcing Austin's role in practical security innovations—building on its mission to protect through everyday tech.[1][2][3]
