About Citizen
Citizen makes your world a safer place with a powerful free safety product and a life-saving personal safety subscription.
Our free product harnesses the power of mobile technology to provide real-time 911 safety alerts to people who are nearby dangerous events in progress, helping them avert danger. Our safety alerts have helped people evacuate burning buildings, returned countless missing children to their families, and have become part of the social safety infrastructure of most major US cities. Our unique blend of publicly reported incidents and user generated video/comments provides live on-the-ground coverage of community safety events.
Our paid product—Citizen Protect—is a first-of-its-kinds personal safety subscription that allows users to reach a digital guardian 24/7 for $20/mo. Subscribers have used Citizen Protect to de-escalate tense domestic situations, guide emergency response to remote hiking locations, travel safely on late-night walks and Ubers.
Citizen is backed by Sequoia Capital, 8VC, Goodwater Capital, and Founders Fund and has raised tens of millions in VC funding.
