The oldest safety system. Now we wake it.

In a moment of danger, the fastest help may be just dozens of metres away — without knowing it. Hive Synergy notifies those closest — immediately.

Not walls. Not locks. Not cameras.The people right next to you.

The closest safety network that exists. Long before anything else was invented, protection meant one thing: someone nearby who notices and responds.

Those people are still here.

Over the last hundred years, we handed that role over to technology. It works — yet along the way, a neighbour stopped being needed.

And when they are — they don’t know it.

How it works

You can’t always reach for your phone.

  1. One motion.

    On your wrist — no unlocking, no explaining where you are.

  2. The signal moves around you, not up.

    The device broadcasts an alert directly to devices within tens of metres. No internet, no server, no trail in the cloud.

  3. People nearby know.

    The notification reaches only people who have the app and are close enough to make it in time. No one else receives anything.

  • No phone
  • No internet
  • No server
  • No monitoring centre

Hive is made by those who decided for themselves that they want to be within reach for others. That is why it works where there are enough of them. A neighbour doesn’t have to be someone you know — it is enough that you are next to each other.

We cannot change that something may happen.

We turn presence into help.

Why this approach

Safety starts locally.

Hive is a network that works in synergy with what already exists.

On-the-spot response buys time for emergency services on their way.

Today

A real hive is built cell by cell.

So is Hive. Before it covers a district, it must work on a single street.

SIGNAL

Field-tested: through walls and between floors.

FIRST PILOT

Gemeente Oude IJsselstreek — the “Safer Streets After Sunset” challenge in the Startup in Residence Achterhoek programme. Using a prototype, we are testing whether the signal reaches the app and how people respond.

Where we are headed

Every device the same hive.

01 · Single street
02 · Neighbouring blocks
03 · Network of local hives

Our goal is for the Hive signal to be broadcast by every device people already wear.

Any phone with the app can already receive the signal today. We are testing transmission on our own device.
