Realsafe Technologies develops safety-based technology services that directly connect users to emergency services, led by CEO Zoe Farrington. Its core product, REALRIDER, is an online platform and app for motorcyclists that detects crashes and notifies the NHS to dispatch an ambulance to the rider's last known location. The company is based in Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK. Realsafe raised £1M in funding, comprising venture capital and a social enterprise loan, to support its growth. The business intends to use the funds to scale staffing and development efforts to push REALRIDER out to market. The company also strengthened its board, adding Andy Scaife as Non-Executive Chairman and Stephen Purvis as a board member. RealRider operates a web and mobile network that enables motorcyclists to meet, explore new routes, and share experiences in real time and by location. The service is delivered via its web platform and mobile apps, which are available for iOS and Android. The company was co-founded by Zoe Farrington and Andrew Richardson. RealRider focuses on community and route-discovery features tailored to riders. Financially, the company has completed multiple seed financings during the year described in the articles.
