Invest In ROAR

ROAR builds wearable staff-duress technology that lets frontline workers call for help the moment they need it. One press of a button pinpoints the exact room and floor and alerts the right responders - security, clinical teams, or 911 - within seconds. Our patented, self-healing mesh network works without Wi-Fi or cellular, so protection reaches the places other systems miss.

WHY IT MATTERS

Caring for people is the most dangerous job in America. Healthcare workers are 5x more likely to suffer a workplace-violence injury than the average private-sector worker, two nurses are attacked every hour, and 81% of incidents go unreported. The burden isn't shared equally: women, workers of color, and immigrants carry about 4.8x their share. Violence costs U.S. hospitals $18B a year and is pushing nurses out of the profession.

WHY I BUILT ROAR

I worked under-the-table jobs in unsafe conditions to put myself through Temple. In 2013, while backpacking across South America, I heard story after story from women who had been assaulted. I started ROAR the next year with one mission: to ensure no one is afraid while trying to earn a wage.

IMPACT TO DATE

• 4.5M+ people protected across 300+ facilities in 41 states and territories
• Nearly 400 verified alerts answered every week, 39% acknowledged in under a minute
• Customers see 40% fewer violent incidents in six months and 20-50% lower workers' comp claims in year one
• Certified B Corp since 2017, aligned with UN SDGs 3, 5, and 8.8

TRACTION

• $2.4M ARR installed with $3.4M ARR projected CARR by end of 2026
• 106% net revenue retention, under 1% churn, 69.2% gross margin in Q2 2026
• Acadia Healthcare grew from one pilot to 68 sites. Endeavor Health, Duke Health, Mount Sinai, and Hope Network are on the same path, with $5.5M+ ARR at maturity across these five accounts
• Strong tailwinds: the Joint Commission workplace-violence standard, Cal/OSHA enforcement in 2027, and panic button mandates spreading across states

THE INVESTMENT

We're funding a rollout, not a forecast. Capital goes toward expanding inside signed enterprise health systems, where our expansion win rate runs 85%. We're targeting $3.4M contracted ARR by year end and EBITDA-positive in Q1 2027, ahead of a priced round in mid-2027.

Every $1M deployed protects about 12,500 frontline workers and answers roughly 4,300 calls for help each year.
