OUR STORY
THE WHY
After relocating to a new neighborhood that was gated, Chris Rich, CEO and Co-Founder had a sense of security while living in that community. Sadly enough, Chris and his wife were victims of an attempted home invasion at 3:00am while home.
This incident changed their lives forever and woke them up around the reality of how helpless families really are to these type of incidents. Immediately after this incident, they researched additional safety measures for their home and also noticed the barriers law enforcement had around their workforce as they couldn't promise additional patrols, per our founders request. A feeling of helplessness was there for our founder and his wife after exhausting all possible options that were available.
Chris and his wife later relocated to Atlanta and got very involved with his community opposed to living in a bubble and being unaware. Shortly after, he volunteered as security chair for his HOA for three years and this is where he recognized that this was a larger issue.
The concept that there was a easier way to connect people to security when they needed it through technology was born, Hawque. He knew that this would be a challenging journey to take but he also knew that it was something that was needed no matter the risk.
Not long after launching Hawque, several success stories were created but most importantly, the sense of empowerment for our users was amazing. Our social movement was started as this isn't just another technology firm, this is personal and our team wont' sleep until we help make other communities safer and smarter.
