A Vision
Sam Mansen and Shub Basu believed technology can contribute significantly to the personal safety and exploration space. They were right, delivering in 2015 the best selling personal alarm in the country - a concept new to many. The "sound grenade" as it was called was noted as the world's smallest SOS alarm, featured on the Today Show with Kathie Lee Gifford, and received coverage on several notable national programs, such as Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien. 

Key Operational Principles:
We strongly believe in creating superior products first, maintaining healthy balance sheets, low debt, and continuous profitability.
