It started with one night that should have gone differently.
RaveSafe exists because the tools to keep people safe at live events haven't kept up with the events themselves.
A festival in Barcelona.
At a festival in Barcelona, a friend got lost in the crowd — phone dead, no signal, and no viable way to find them or get help in the moment. Security had radios and word of mouth, and little else.
None of it was unusual. That's the point. The problem wasn't that something went wrong — it's that there was no system built to catch it in real time.
RaveSafe is the answer to that night: a way to get help without a phone, without a scene, and a way for the people running the event to actually see what's happening while they can still do something about it.
Built by someone in the culture.
RaveSafe was founded by Miles McCabe — a DJ and festival-goer who saw the gap firsthand. It grew from that night into a full product and business: market research, customer interviews, competitor analysis, and a working prototype direction.
The goal isn't to make events feel policed. It's to make safety feel native to the culture — quiet, anonymous, and there when it's needed.
The wristband is the start, not the end.
The bigger idea is a connected sensing layer for crowded spaces — wearables, environmental sensors, and AI-driven detection that spots danger and directs response in real time.
The wristband + dashboard
Discreet, anonymous reporting and a real-time operator view. The foundation everything else builds on.
Environmental sensing
Crowd-density and condition signals layered onto the same map, so risks surface before they become incidents.
Safety intelligence
An AI layer that learns across events to make every future one safer — using only aggregated, de-identified data.
We're early, and we say so. We never claim capabilities that don't exist yet — the honest "here's the horizon" framing is what makes the vision credible.
Want to help build it?
We're looking for pilot partners, advisors in festival medicine and security, and people who believe culture and safety aren't opposites.
