"We couldn't be more excited about how the campaign has
been received. The support and encouragement has been unbelievable,"
said David Benoit, co-founder of Wearsafe Labs.
Co-founder Phill Giancarlo echoed David's statement saying, "We still
have a lot of work to do to achieve our $75,000 goal, but it's been
really exciting, especially seeing the international support. We've
already received pledges from as far reaching as the Netherlands and
Japan."
Wearsafe's Kickstarter campaign is the launching point for the company's
mission to positively impact 10 million lives in the next 10 years.
"For us, saving lives goes beyond those which would have been lost, to
also include those which might otherwise be irreparably altered by a bad
experience," says David Benoit, Co-Founder of Wearsafe Labs. "We can
empower, connect and protect the people we love and help to keep each
other safe."
Wearsafe has spent more than 3 1/2 years developing the new wearable
technology. The Wearsafe Tag is a small, wearable, Bluetooth low-energy
device that pairs seamlessly with a smartphone to instantly connect a
person with their trusted network of family and friends.
When activated, an alert is instantly sent to the members of your
selected network. It includes critical information like your location,
speed of travel, streaming audio, and creates a private group chat so
your friends and family can easily communicate with each other and share
information.
"The Wearsafe Tag will change how we connect and how we stay safe," said Phill Giancarlo, Co-Founder of Wearsafe Labs.
Adaptable for your whole life from morning through night, the Wearsafe
Tag is designed to fit into your varied lifestyle. This innovative
product is ideal for everyone, students, athletes, travelers and parents
with small children. You can wear it a variety of ways or hide it
completely. One-touch connectivity keeps you safer wherever you are and
more secure in whatever you're doing.
"This product can prevent the unthinkable from happening," says Rich
Staropoli, former United States Secret Service Special Agent. "Research
shows that 1 in 5 women will be a victim of sexual assault on college
campuses during a typical four-year course of study. As a father whose
daughter is going to college in the fall I strongly feel that this
product should be on every college campus in America. With the knowledge
that students could be wearing a Wearsafe-connected device, a college
or university creates a significant deterring effect."
