History and Vision
Rave Mobile Safety was founded in 2004 by a visionary team of entrepreneurs and investors who believed the powerful capabilities and near-ubiquitous ownership of mobile phones could transform the way individuals and groups communicate and interact with the world around them. Since then, the company has grown to meet the increasing demand from institutional clients across a variety of market segments, all bound by a common goal: to protect the lives and promote the well-being of their on-the-go constituents.
