01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Civi was a São Paulo, Brazil security app founded in 2020 — a crowdsourced emergency-notification software that gave users real-time security alerts. Users could view their location and events occurring around them on a map, with real-time information about traffic accidents, thefts, fires and assaults. The company employed 11–50 people and raised about $1.67 million in funding. It was listed among the best free security apps for São Paulo residents in 2022. No shutdown, bankruptcy or acquisition was found in any source; the company may be a misclassification in the failure records.
