Safety Awareness Through The Power Of Community: Ulzi Launches An Innovative Smartphone App To Help Address The Troubling Statistics Of Sexual Assault
Company’s solution links together community and advanced artificial intelligence in a unique way to help keep consumers within all communities safe
Press Release – SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA (April 17, 2018) – In response to the limited functionality of current safety applications and troubling sexual assault statistics, Ulzi, (http://ulzi.com/), has developed an innovative smartphone app to give consumers the freedom to live their life freely, without having to worry about the safety of themselves or their loved ones.
Beyond bringing awareness of the issue, Ulzi looks to address the most important key to ending violent assault: to bring empowerment to those who can intervene before an assault happens, preventing trauma all together. Ulzi has created an app that gives everyone an opportunity to come to their friends’ aid, giving peace of mind to their loved ones and increasing safety everywhere, “one community at a time.”
According to Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network, (https://www.rainn.org ), the nation’s largest anti-sexual violence organization, one in four women is assaulted during her college career. Additionally, a violent crime is committed every 25 seconds in the U.S., according to U.S. Department of Justice FBI crime statistics.
“Ulzi’s mission is to take away all of those safety worries and give you your liberty back – the freedom to do what you want when you want, without having to plan your life or base your decisions off of fear or worry,” said Maxwell Fong, Ulzi co-founder. “We believe that when you don’t have to be overly concerned about safety, you’re free to live a full and abundant life. We bring the community and artificial intelligence together in a unique, innovative way to keep you and your loved ones safe.”
Ulzi’s impressive team has extensive experience in security, law enforcement, GPS integrated tracking systems, wireless data systems, IP networks, data storage, and video streaming and analytics to protect consumers.

Trusted Security: Advanced, multi-layered protection provides unmatched safety
Connect with Your Friends: Help make your friends, family, and community safer

Customizable Ulzi Geozones: Get sent alerts if a contact arrives or departs a location, and also, have alerts sent to your phone if a loved one or friend is in danger, anytime, anywhere

Yellow Alert: When you’re in an awkward, uncomfortable, or unsafe situation, discreetly alert a friend to get you out
Fong and co-founder Elan Timmons were inspired to start Ulzi after hearing about the sobering statistics on instances of sexual assault on college campuses. After talking to numerous college students, the duo started a small online platform where people could share their stories of sexual assault.
Upon receiving hundreds of emails pouring in of people sharing their stories, problems and the solutions they wanted to see – Fong and Timmons wanted to develop something tangible, a real-time solution in tandem with the awareness movement. They worked closely with survivors and supporters to develop an app that integrated everything they had heard people were looking for.
Part of Ulzi’s executive team travelled to India last week to compete in the Anu & Naveen Jain Women’s Safety $1 Million XPRIZE competition, where they are 1 of 20 global finalists competing to present the best affordable safety technology.
Ulzi has launched an Indiegogo campaign, (https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/personal-freedom-through-artificial-intelligence-apps-community#/ ), to spread awareness about their app among consumers and the investment community.
