Our Team

I am passionate about building innovative products that help people. The Kazoo team and I are committed to creating a safer, stronger future where technology and people work together seamlessly to protect and save lives. Empowering our users with the option to share vital information directly with 911 through Kazoo’s platform is a game-changer.

Harnessing Technology to Increase Safety

Nearly 1 in 2 Americans feel highly concerned for their safety.* To meet this demand, we created Kazoo: A game-changing safety technology platform that gives you safety with a single tap.

“911, What is the address of your emergency?”
is the first question dispatchers ask, and for good reason: A dispatcher's first goal is to get help on the way. But relaying your location is often easier said than done. In emergency situations, you may not know your exact location, or you may be unable to articulate it clearly due to injuries, stress or safety concerns.

THAT’S WHERE KAZOO COMES IN

ALL-IN-ONE SCREEN, AND IN SECONDS

The screens below demonstrate how Kazoo’s life-saving technology works. When you tap SOS (left), your emergency contacts (right) see an instant broadcast of the scene and have (8) vital data points and functions at their fingertips.

Next, the screens below demonstrate a real-life scenario where Kazoo can be used to save lives. Imagine being at a music festival and chaos erupts. Everyone scrambles for shelter – one person has Kazoo installed.

That person taps the SOS button, and an instant video live stream is broadcast to his emergency contacts, who then call 911 on his behalf.
The 911 dispatcher instantly receives all of the victim’s vital information (name, phone number, location), while the emergency contact describes what’s going on at the scene—all in under 30 seconds. The dispatcher then deploys the appropriate emergency responder resources to the scene.

KAZOO PARTNERS WITH RAPIDSOS TO CONNECT INTO NATIONWIDE PUBLIC SAFETY SYSTEM

10,000 lives could be saved every year by reducing 911 response times by one minute. Kazoo saves that minute by providing enhanced connectivity to 911 and automatically relaying critical information about the victim to the 911 dispatcher.

To make this technology happen, Kazoo partnered with RapidSOS to connect directly into 4,800 emergency call centers nationwide with 93% U.S. coverage.

Michael Martin, CEO of RapidSOS said, “Together with innovative companies like Kazoo certified as RapidSOS Ready, we’re providing people with an added layer of safety and security and we’re supporting our heroic first responders in saving millions of lives annually.”

KAZOO—THE ALL-IN-ONE 'MUST HAVE' COMPANION APP FOR LIFE 

Kazoo keeps you safe—and connected. We clearly distinguish ourselves from all other apps on the market by combining the power of multiple apps into one, in a way that has never been done before. 50+ fun and unique map-based social features make Kazoo the companion app for life.

KAZOO'S BROAD APPLICATIONS

In life and in business, there are many unpredictable events that are out of our control. In virtually every emergency situation, Kazoo helps people get the urgent assistance that they need.

THE KAZOO TEAM

Kazoo's proven entrepreneurial leadership team has brought over a dozen mobile and SaaS-based products and companies to the vanguard of innovation in their respective industries. Our world-class team of award-winning designers and engineers has led projects for global companies like Apple, Twitter, Microsoft, and even Kanye West.

KAZOO PARTNERS WITH INTERNATIONAL CHARITY ORGANIZATION

The Kazoo team has chosen Stand for the Silent (SFTS) as its Charity of Choice. SFTS is an international anti-bullying organization that has traveled to 1,593 schools and reached over 1,620,000 kids.

Our partnership gives us immediate access to 300K+ engaged SFTS constituents
across social and email, providing an efficient and cost-effective way to reach a highly targeted subscriber base—all while supporting SFTS’s mission of keeping kids and families safe.

B2B & B2C SUBSCRIPTION PRICING

Kazoo's revenue model includes both B2B and B2C strategies. Both are subscription-based models, which provide a consistent revenue stream for Kazoo. Our B2B pricing includes a one-time integration fee, plus a tiered monthly per-user fee.

 $12B+ SERVICEABLE AVAILABLE MARKET (SAM)

Kazoo provides an essential service to 3.5B smartphone users worldwide, 25M of whom purchase 3-4 apps/mo (U.S.). Our total addressable market in the U.S. is $285B, and we've targeted a $12B serviceable market. Our scalable and cost-efficient go-to-market strategy focuses on national channel partners to reach millions of end-users.

STANDING ABOVE THE REST

Kazoo is a premier SOS app that instantly alerts your loved ones, live streams video, pinpoints your location, and connects with 9-1-1—with one tap. No other app on the market does this so seamlessly and efficiently. Not only that, but Kazoo is fun to use! By bundling group communications, location-based services, and social features, we allow ourselves to step outside the personal safety market and target a higher number of lifestyle users.
