Stop. It’s such a simple street sign but one that many drivers ignore, creating safety issues that result in pedestrian injuries, car crashes, and even needless deaths. Obvio seeks to make roads safer, using an end-to-end product combining software and hardware. It begins with camera devices installed near intersections by local government partners. Then Obvio’s platform takes care of monitoring, educating and enforcing - and with the most egregious violations, helping issue tickets to the drivers.
In the company’s own words, “we’re on a mission to curb reckless driving and reduce the 40,000 annual deaths that happen on our roadways. Our first 5 cities went live earlier this year, and we’ve been excited to see the results: 50% reduction in unsafe driving events in just the first couple months of the program.”
The Obvio cofounders met while working together at an earlier company in the dashboard camera space. We were introduced to them during their seed phase and were immediately struck by the combination of technical excellence and customer focus. And the immense potential for the business was also apparent to other investors, resulting in a robust Series A fundraise led by Bain Capital.
If working at a well-funded, mission-driven startup appeals to you, Obvio is hiring.
