About us

We build the safety platform
we wish existed when our own people worked alone.

The team behind Vygard has run construction sites, dispatched paramedics, coded for the NHS and pulled people off mountains. We saw the same gap in every sector: safety tooling that looks impressive in a tender doc and gets uninstalled inside a week. So we built one platform that workers actually keep open, and ops actually trust.

What drives us

Three pillars, one promise.

Principle

What we believe

Safety tech only counts if it works at the worst moment. We engineer for the 3am man-down call on a building site in February, not the boardroom demo.

Audience

Who we build for

Care providers, contractors, fleets, security firms, mountain rescue teams, families looking after an ageing parent, offshore oil & gas operators in ATEX zones, UK farmers working alone in remote fields, and NHS district nurses visiting patient homes. 12 sector packs and counting.

Method

How we work

Open about pricing. Honest about what's still on the roadmap. Always one step removed from the workers who use it — we ride along, we get paged. Claude-powered AI Virtual Watcher runs alongside every human dispatcher, but never instead of one — every model recommendation requires a named human ack before it counts.

Origins

Founded 2024 in London.

We started after a near-miss: a contractor's lone surveyor went silent on a remote site for three hours before anyone noticed. Their existing “safety app” had been silently logged out for weeks.

We've spent every day since building the platform that would have caught it inside three minutes.

Backed by

People who've operated at the sharp end.

Operators, clinicians and dispatchers who've felt the gap first-hand. Their working knowledge shows up in every escalation policy, every audit trail and every late-night design decision.
