After a severe ski accident, involving one of AvR's founders, Hilary and Remy set out on a mission to develop the fastest, most accurate and most reliable way for millions of skiers and snowboarders to directly alert ski patrol of their emergency and their precise location on the mountain, without the use of cell technology, and even when they are unconscious. AvR has since been working closely with multiple major mountain resorts and the US Ski Team to commercialize their lifesaving technology for skiers and snowboarders worldwide - with all of their patented technology ultimately fueling expansion into more than 15 other global markets in the future (hiking, mountain biking, running, cycling, snowmobiling, etc).
The AvR Alert System™, a "Safety as a Service" solution for mountain resorts, also has a unique twist with mobile payment / lift ticket integration. By bringing the LifeAlert and Disney wristband concepts together as an all-in-one passport, resort guests will enjoy an elevated experience with a new kind of peace of mind, while mountain resorts acquire scores of actionable data to maximize their operations across the board.
With AvR's breakthrough technology spanning multiple spaces and industries - IoT, software, wearable / connected devices, cloud, mobile, data analytics - the team is on their way to capture a $14B+ opportunity with official Pilot Programs slated for the 2021/22 winter season.
