Security Guard Company Marketplace
We built a marketplace and management platform that helps businesses instantly book security guards across all 50 states. Our product removes the usual back-and-forth and errors by giving customers full transparency over guard schedules, attendance, and incident reports.
We live in San Francisco and have remote team members. After YC, we'll be based primarily in San Francisco to stay close to our customers and partners here.
San Francisco has a strong concentration of businesses and startups needing security, plus the local talent and network we rely on. Maintaining a presence here helps us build relationships and grow faster.
