SafetyGrid is a voice and SMS broadcasting app that provides families with peace of mind by instantly notifying friends and family in case of an emergency. Hankins, the founder, was inspired by his friend's tragic experience at the World Trade Center and wanted to create a location-based app that could help ordinary people in danger. With Twilio-powered voice and SMS broadcasting, SafetyGrid allows users to quickly alert their loved ones with just a few taps on the panic button, providing a sense of security and reassurance. The app is designed for parents, children, spouses, and international travelers who want to stay connected and safe in emergency situations. Hankins' experience as a senior network architect and his success in integrating Twilio's service into SafetyGrid demonstrate that even complex technology can be made accessible and user-friendly.
