MotionSafe

What MotionSafe does

MotionSafe is a US-based automotive cybersecurity and vehicle data privacy company founded in 2025 and headquartered in Sterling, with R&D operations in Texas and Virginia. The company offers a three-product vehicle security platform: MotionSafe Privacy (forensic-grade PII deletion with cryptographic verification and audit trails for CCPA/GDPR compliance, currently available), MotionSafe Cyber (AI-powered fleet cybersecurity with anomaly detection across CAN networks, real-time intrusion detection, and SOC integration, in early access), and MotionSafe Shield (real-time fleet intelligence dashboard with AI-driven predictive maintenance, in early access). The underlying technology combines proprietary forensic deletion methods with AI-based anomaly detection and predictive analytics applied to connected vehicle telemetry.

The company targets seven customer verticals through a vertical-segmented GTM approach: commercial fleet operators, government/defense, OEMs and Tier 1/2 suppliers, public safety, rental/car sharing, dealerships/auctions, and insurance. Distribution is primarily direct enterprise sales via 'Request a Demo' CTAs, with a defense-sector channel opened through a strategic investment from the ONE Bow River National Defense Fund and a supplier partner ecosystem for channel expansion. Revenue model is subscription-based for Privacy and Cyber, with Shield positioned as a freemium consumer/family offering to drive top-of-funnel demand.

MotionSafe has filed 2 patents covering core automotive cybersecurity technology with additional applications in pipeline, and has been featured on CNBC and recognized by external cybersecurity experts. The company raised approximately $8.8M in Seed funding in October 2025 led by ONE Bow River and Stormbreaker Ventures, with stated use of funds for R&D acceleration in vehicle data security and defense/transportation sector collaboration. The market context is favorable: the global automotive cybersecurity market is valued at $5.46B in 2025 growing at 16.1% CAGR through 2030, with 494 cyber incidents reported in 2025 and 44% involving ransomware.
