What is your sales pipeline like? Who is your initial target? I have _no_ experience in this area, but I think very small muni that dont have facilities, that have to contract out to counties or other towns could be a first good target. Esp places that know the burden that incarceration places on the rest of the people and services in those towns.
Could it also be applied to halfway house use cases? I assume you will require the user to carry a smartphone and it will have geofencing, in and out. I also assume you will be using face recognition to semi-randomly authenticate the user.
This is the first YC HN post I have ever opened, I think this is great idea, esp because most of these businesses are started by unethical leaders motivated purely by profit.
Thank you for opening and sharing your thoughts! We have been speaking with sheriff departments, district attorneys, public defenders, probation departments, judges and other parts of the criminal justice system. They have slightly different motivations but most agree that Promise could benefit individuals going through the system. Thank you for your idea. We will definitely look into that.
