Preventing Tragedies Before They Happen with 3rd-i
Manage episode 509642680 series 3671654
In this episode of From The Hill To The Trenches: The Search for Justice, host Dorothy Hill speaks with Dillon Abend, founder and CEO of 3rd-i, about the nationwide campus safety crisis. Research at University of Miami revealed 75 percent of female students feel unsafe using rideshare, and 70 percent have experienced harassment or assault. Abend’s 3rd-i app acts as a shareable body cam with dual camera recording, live location tracking, and discreet SOS capabilities. Students can stream rides to trusted squads while emergency dispatch monitors in real time. Backed by $1 million in pre-seed funding, 3rd-i is expanding to major campuses including University of Miami, Florida State, University of Florida, Ohio State, and Penn State to protect students and prevent rideshare assaults.
