Day One
January’s blog post reflects on Safe Tech’s first year in business as well as narrates our goals for 2021.
Safe Tech Services
At Safe Tech, we guide a portfolio of public safety technologies through the pivotal stages of product development.
Technology Development
In order to mitigate risk and maximize value, Safe Tech will utilize Trusted Service Providers (TSPs) to provide technology companies access to resources with strategic connections and access to the public safety and defense markets.
Technical teams often approach fundraising with 50% or more of their raise dedicated to marketing and sales, regardless of the limited experience they have in selecting where and how to spend marketing funds.
Utilizing the nation’s leading public safety agencies and corporations will enhance the value of resources provided to technologies through Safe Tech. Services may include marketing, engineering, packaging, prototyping, manufacturing, distribution and market introduction.
Safe Tech will target corporate partners that are willing to provide both financial and service commitments to member companies.
Competitive Events
Safe Tech is the premier resource for technologies enhancing public safety, first responders and defense.
We will prioritize technology and grant distribution through participating, sponsoring and hosting competitive events. Safe Tech will provide a charitable entity on the Under Fire | Response Innovation Showdown, allowing Under Fire sponsors to contribute with tax benefits. Safe Tech will evaluate Under Fire, Defense to Response and other events to ensure the portfolio is diverse and filled with technologies that are selected by the nation’s first responders.
Co-Working and Maker Space
Safe Tech operates a Maker Space in College Station, Texas which is available to the community and attracts public safety innovators from around the world. A Safe Tech membership allows individuals, startups, and organizations to use this space. Additionally, the Maker Space may provide tax benefits for equipment donations. Using partnerships with co-working spaces throughout the Brazos Valley, Safe Tech encourages the development of an innovation ecosystem where all business and technology incubators have access to a Maker Space.
At Safe Tech, We Give Back
Make Safe Tech, Inc. is a nonprofit dedicated to working to bring game-changing technologies to our first responders and armed forces. We don’t know what the next innovation is or where it will come from, but with your donation, we can be ready for it.
Additionally, we’re committed to giving back to the communities that keep us safe and secure. As such, all Safe Tech donations and Swag Store purchases go directly to:
1. Testing and evaluation grants for safe technologies
2. Training Grants
3. Department resiliency grants addressing Line of Duty Deaths (LODDs) and suicide prevention
4. First responder and armed forces support programs as identified
