Welcome to our feature highlighting the numerous Colorado tech companies that make cool stuff. These little snippets are intended for readers to explore the technology being made right here. One company at a time, of course.
Revolar
Revolar’s new magic button for personal safety requires 2-3 pushes to alert friends of your location.
Building a technology company in a matter of months isn’t easy. Especially when you’re a school teacher, like Revolar founder Jacqueline Ros. But when her younger sister was assaulted, Ros stepped up and figured out how to develop a magic button for personal safety. A plus from the local venture capitalists at The Foundry Group, Revolar’s personal safety device is now for sale. Revolar fits on a key chain or clips to clothing. While you still need a smartphone present, the press or a button twice or thrice alert specific friends via text (using the device’s Bluetooth to link to a phone). Built-in GPS sends friends your actual location. The $99 waterproof device should work out of the box — with no added fees for service (that’s what your smartphone is for).
