Beacon
Let the people who love you know β€” the moment it matters.
$5,000 to build, launch, and put Beacon in families' hands
Working prototype + full product plan complete

When a health emergency hits, the person in the middle of it faces a cruel tax: at the moment they have the least energy, they're expected to repeat the same frightening update to a dozen worried people across a dozen separate text threads β€” while everyone who loves them sits anxious and out of the loop.

Beacon is the private messenger that fixes this. One trusted circle. A glanceable health status. And when something acute happens, a single alert that carries everything your people need to know β€” and lets them respond without adding to the noise.

How it works

🟒 Green
Doing fine β€” your everyday standing status.
🟑 Yellow
Something's up β€” a heads-up to the circle.
πŸ”΄ Red
Emergency β€” fires an alert, opens a live thread.

What makes it more than a group text

🚨
One-tap alerts
"Heading to ER β€” heart issue." Pick a severity, hit send, your whole circle knows instantly.
πŸ“
Live logistics
Share location, hospital, and room number as real data β€” not buried in a text.
πŸ™
One-tap replies
"On my way." "Seen." Family responds without the patient having to answer anyone.
🀝
Delegated posting
A trusted person can post on your behalf when you can't β€” mid-surgery, unconscious.

See it in action

This isn't a concept β€” there's a working prototype. Tap through it right here: hit New Alert, send the pre-filled πŸ”΄ emergency, and watch the family acknowledge and reply.

Live, interactive demo embedded above β€” no install required. Works best on a laptop or tablet.

What $5,000 delivers

  • 1
    App Store launch. A Mac + developer account turns the finished build into a shippable iOS app.
  • 2
    First real families. Marketing puts Beacon in front of caregivers and patient communities who feel this pain.
  • 3
    Early traction. Real usage and feedback β€” the proof points that unlock a larger raise.

Why now

The hard part is already done. There's a working, clickable prototype and a complete product plan β€” data model, build checklist, and a compliance posture designed to keep Beacon acquisition-ready for a healthcare buyer.

This isn't money to figure out what to build. It's the last mile to ship it.

Back Beacon's launch

Your $5,000 is the bridge from a finished plan to a live app in families' hands β€” covering the tools to ship it, my time to build it, and the push to reach the first users. I'd love to walk you through the prototype in person.
