Company
Rescue Forensics
Actionable human trafficking intelligence
We built Rescue Ops, a digital forensic platform that archives massive quantities of data from classified ad sites specializing in commercial sex ads. Law enforcement uses it to investigate and fight human trafficking more effectively. We collect, store, and analyze these ads to create actionable intelligence for anti-trafficking operations.
We live in Nashville, TN. The company would remain based there after YC.
We're based in Nashville because that's where we're from and where our initial connections to law enforcement agencies are. Staying local helps us build trust and close collaboration with our first users.
