🔍 Why We Built This
The Crisis of Silence
- 72% of whistleblowers face retaliation (Deloitte, 2023)
- 63% of fraud is exposed by tips—but most go unreported due to fear (ACFE)
- Legacy systems fail: Web forms leak metadata, hotlines ignore trauma, and HR portals bury reports
Our Breaking Point
- Suchir Balaji's Case: A AI pioneer developer who lost his life after reporting Ethical issues in large AI company. His story proved the need for code-first protection —and inspired his father, Balaji Ramamurthy, to join our mission
- My Own Story: As a journalist, I was banned by large professional networking platform for exposing truths. I've faced mobbing, gaslighting for whistleblowing. The system isn't broken—it's designed to silence.Tech should amplify voices, not silence them
