A mobile app that lets families share real-time location without selling their data to brokers
Life360 built a $650M/yr business largely by selling precise location data on 33 million users to third-party data brokers, then faced multiple class-action lawsuits for it. Families want the circle-of-safety features (real-time location, geofencing, driving alerts) without becoming the product. No privacy-first, fully-featured family location app with a clean monetization model has taken serious market share from Life360.
