We’re excited to announce our latest investment in CommunityWolf – a security intelligence platform redefining public safety with new technology and tools for communication, collaboration, and data-driven action.

💡 What they do:
Every year, millions of crimes go unreported as public safety participation remains highly fragmented. Meanwhile, millions of people coordinate their community safety efforts through WhatsApp groups, creating an overwhelming amount of unstructured data. Community Wolf is on a mission to unify and harness this data to deliver positive safety outcomes for all South Africans.

Their platform integrates seamlessly into WhatsApp and other widely used communication tools to ensure maximum reach and inclusivity. By leveraging these channels, Community Wolf enables public safety providers and community stakeholders to turn everyday people into ‘eyes and ears,’ building a more connected and effective public safety ecosystem.

🚀 Why we invested:
The global public safety market, valued at $878B, is plagued by outdated and fragmented technology. Community Wolf is uniquely positioned to transform this infrastructure by creating a unified, data-first approach to community safety.

The founding team brings together exceptional vision and experience. CEO @Nick Mills was a founding member of one of South Africa’s leading startups in residential solar solutions, and CTO @Michael Houghton has built cutting-edge AI systems for global organisations.

While their journey began in South Africa, this is a universal challenge, and Community Wolf’s innovative approach has the potential to redefine how public safety works around the world.
