Welcome YGG Community
From your worst nights, to your first dates. We have your back.
The Problem
It should be easier to live a life free of harm and harassment.
To find love, to go out with friends, to feel good about the fit, to have a productive work day, to walk home at night..
We rely on law enforcement, the justice system, and human resources to protect, to guide, to do what is right. Too often the support necessary is not delivered, leaving the people they mean to protect without hope.
Justice comes at a cost that aggressors don’t pay. Somehow survivors are expected to fight when the only thing in their corner is all of the burden, and with no promise of a fair outcome. But your stories have not been forgotten.
We want to help.
The apps we’re developing will deter aggressors by putting formidable tools in your hands.
We’d love your support.
Our Mission
Our mission is to help survivors reach better outcomes, and create obstacles for those who harm and harass others.
We want to start in the hands of every survivor. If you know someone with a story, send them our way.
The first app we’re releasing is called Heard. It’s an invite only safe space where survivors can tell their stories anonymously, and find helpful resources for themselves and loved ones who support them. The hope is that good can come from their courage because their stories can save others. So we’re creating a space for them to be heard.
Our goals for Heard:
To be the first thing you check when meeting someone new.
To keep you informed in real time when you're near bad people or dangerous places.
To create profiles on repeat aggressors.
Protecting our community is our foremost priority. We encrypt all user data, we anonymize published stories, and we do some other clever stuff.
Above all, we have your back.
