A Letter from Our CEO

"As an entrepreneur dedicated to education technology, I understand the concerns that come with school safety in today's world. As someone passionate about AI innovation, I knew there had to be a better way to protect our students without sacrificing their privacy or creating a surveillance state."

Sightline was born from this conviction. We've assembled a world-class team of engineers, privacy experts, and educators to build technology that can detect threats in milliseconds while maintaining the strictest privacy standards in the industry."

We don't use facial recognition. We don't track individual students. We don't sell data. What we do is give schools the tools they need to prevent tragedies and support student wellbeing—ethically and transparently."

Every child deserves to learn without fear. That's the future we're building."

Our Values

The principles that guide every decision we make

Privacy First

We believe safety and privacy are not mutually exclusive. Every feature we build starts with the question: how do we protect student privacy?

Proactive Prevention

We focus on preventing incidents before they occur, not just responding to them. Early intervention saves lives.

Student Wellbeing

Mental health matters. Our behavioral analytics help identify students who need support, enabling schools to intervene compassionately.

Transparency

Every detection, every alert, every action is logged and auditable. We believe in complete transparency with the communities we serve.
