LiveSafe

What LiveSafe does

LiveSafe is a mobile-based anonymous reporting and safety communications platform originally founded in 2012 and headquartered in Arlington, Virginia. The product enables individuals and safety officials to submit and receive safety tips 24/7 — ranging from daily hazards to serious threats — and supports broadcast notification capabilities for campus-wide alerts. The platform is positioned primarily for K-12 and higher education institutions and integrates with the broader Vector Solutions portfolio as a module within a unified AI-enabled performance platform.

Vector Solutions — the operating parent under which LiveSafe now sits — delivers a subscription-based SaaS platform combining Learning Management (Vector LMS), Environmental Health & Safety management (Vector EHS), workforce scheduling, evaluations, professional development tracking, anonymous reporting (LiveSafe), incident and exposure monitoring (Guardian Tracking), federal training management (Acadis Readiness Suite), gaming compliance (ArdentSky), and front-line public safety operations. The platform serves 24,000+ customers across K-12, higher education, manufacturing, fire departments, EMS, law enforcement, government, AEC, casinos, and facilities management, with industry-specific compliance certifications from OSHA, NFPA, CAPCE, IADLEST, and APCO/NENA.

The business model is enterprise B2B SaaS, with quote-based annual subscriptions sold via a direct field-sales motion anchored by "Request a Demo" CTAs. LiveSafe has raised approximately $31.25M in disclosed funding across seven rounds between 2012 and 2018, with investors including IAC, Hearst Ventures, FedEx, Evergy Ventures, Revolution's Rise of the Rest Seed Fund, Virginia Venture Partners, City Light Capital, and HearstLab. Co-founder Kristina Anderson serves as advisor; founder Shy Pahlevani continues in a founding role.
