  • React Mobile

    Led · Equity · May 2020

    React Mobile, founded in 2013, is a global leader in panic-button solutions for hotels and says it has the largest hotel customer base of any panic button technology. Its platform uses GPS geolocation and Bluetooth® beacon technology to enable management to deploy response resources to the exact location of an emergency within seconds. The system is described as open and flexible and can locate an employee on or off property to improve emergency response times. React Mobile announced it raised $6 million through a strategic partnership with Brady Corporation, which the company says solidifies its financial stability to meet growing demand. Under the partnership Brady will accelerate React Mobile’s installation capabilities and look to resell its solutions into other industry verticals, and both companies plan to develop new solutions together. The funding is intended to support rapid growth and expansion in hospitality and other industries and to further the companies' shared mission of promoting employee safety everywhere.
