Business Idea:
A simple, secure dead man’s switch service designed to provide peace of mind for solo travelers and at-risk individuals by automatically notifying trusted contacts if the user becomes unresponsive.
Problem:
People in risky situations—such as solo travelers or those living alone—lack a reliable way to inform loved ones if they encounter an emergency or are unable to communicate.
Solution:
A minimalistic, browser-based platform where users set check-in intervals, craft encrypted emergency messages, and receive automated reminders. If unresponsive, trusted contacts are notified, ensuring help arrives.
Target Audience:
Solo travelers, people living alone, or anyone concerned about personal safety who wants an easy-to-use, reliable check-in system.
Monetization:
Subscription model after a free trial, offering a simple, recurring fee for continued use and security.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP):
Focused solely on safety check-ins with escalating reminders, end-to-end encryption, and a straightforward, no-frills experience that prioritizes reliability over complex features.
Launch Strategy:
Start with a minimal, fully functional version offering basic check-in and notification features, gather user feedback, and iterate to improve usability and trustworthiness before expanding.
