About Servabo
Having personal connections victimized and hearing their stories of helplessness, Tim and Nishana became frustrated with the lack of resources people have today in a time of distress. The Servabo team realized that most people become defenseless when their phones are taken away, and wanted to remedy that situation. Out of this came the Shadow, a convenient, affordable safety device to notify someone in a distressful situation.
