Citizen

Citizen is the No. 1 personal safety app in the U.S., with a mission to make the world a safer place. Citizen provides 911 alerts so people can use their phones to keep themselves, and the people and places they love, safe. Citizen has notified people to evacuate burning buildings, and led to the rescue of kidnapped children and missing people.

Citizen’s alerts are accompanied by live stories, real-time updates, and user-generated content so app users never have to wonder why there are fire engines passing by. By broadcasting from the scene of an incident and communicating with one another, communities are empowered by Citizen. We act fast and give people the immediate information to stay safe.

Our first paid product—Citizen Protect—is an only-of-its-kind personal safety subscription that allows users to reach a digital guardian 24/7 for $20/mo. Subscribers use Citizen Protect to guide emergency response to remote hiking locations, or travel safely on late-night walks.

Already relied on by millions of people every day, Citizen will continue to expand and prioritize. We’re looking for hardworking, mission-driven individuals to join Citizen.

Citizen is backed by Sequoia Capital, 8VC, Founders Fund, Goodwater Capital, and Greycroft and has raised $100M+ in VC funding.
