Aslan

We reject the premise that reactive measures are the best we can take to mitigate the proliferation of devastating tragedies. Insidious acts can be known about before they're committed. We've raised a $2.4M round from @2048vc, @BoxGroup, @alumniventures, @PrecursorVC, @rahul, and an all-star roster of investors to make this possible for those on the frontlines. If you're a talented AI/ML engineer who has always known they were meant for more and want a technically steep mission where the outcome is measured in lives saved, DM us.

A choir of voices, including @BullMooseProj, are highlighting what we've long known: that online corridors are breeding grounds for predation and harm at a scale far exceeding what authorities are equipped to confront. @AslanProtects will equip them. washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-amer…

Prefer a mission over mundanity? Prefer technical agency over clearing tickets? Prefer going fast over bureaucracy? Or know someone who fits the bill? We're hiring at Aslan. And we'll pay you $7.5K if a person you recommend joins the crusade. join@aslanprotects.com or DM.

A gunman opened fire on young children sitting in pews as they attended back-to-school mass at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota, today, killing two children aged 8 and 10, and wounding at least 17 other people, 14 of whom were children.

We’re looking forward to an incredible start to the National Safe Schools Conference tomorrow! 🔐🍎 ✨ #NSSC2025 #NationalSafeSchoolsConference #NSSC #SchoolSafetyMatters ✨

We've raised $2.4M from @2048vc, @BoxGroup, @rahul, and others to see the signal before the siren, starting with mass shootings. Unspeakable tragedies have become a defining feature of modern life. Knowing about and stopping them before they happen is the way out.

Stopping mass shootings and similar threats is an important mission and one I’m proud to support.
