What Safer Management does

Safer Management sells attendance software to public school districts and colleges. Public schools receive federal funding based on their average daily attendance, and our software ensures they get the money they need. We started Safer Mgmt. 12 months ago after I dropped off my twin boys and experienced inefficiencies with the sign-in process. We are now in 75 public schools and two colleges with annual reoccurring revenue of $621,000. We have 82% margins and are profitable. At scale, we will charge $15 per student per year. There are 70 million public school students in America which is a $1.4 billion dollar market opportunity.

Student Attendance tracking for Public Schools

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built attendance software that public schools and colleges use to track daily attendance accurately. It replaces inefficient manual sign-in processes, helping schools secure the federal funding tied to their attendance numbers.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Dallas, TX, and the company is based here. We would continue operating here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Dallas is where our founding team is based and where our early customers in public schools are. Staying local keeps us close to our users and lets us move faster on product and sales.
