CommunityWolf, a South African security intelligence platform redefining public safety with new technology and tools for communication, collaboration, and data-driven action, has raised funding from Baobab Network.

Community Wolf is on a mission to unify and harness this data to deliver positive safety outcomes for all South Africans where millions of crimes go unreported as public safety participation remains highly fragmented each year. Meanwhile, millions of people coordinate their community safety efforts through WhatsApp groups, creating an overwhelming amount of unstructured data.

Founded by Nick Mills and Michael Houghton, the founding team brings together exceptional vision and experience. CEO Nick Mills was a founding member of one of South Africa’s leading startups in residential solar solutions, and CTO Michael Houghton has built cutting-edge AI systems for global organisations.

The firm, through its innovative WhatsApp-based platform, is building the technology stack that will enable highly effective and efficient public safety globally.

“Our vision is to create a world where crime is reduced to zero through deeply AI-enabled technology and community-driven reporting,” said the firm. “We started by making Wolf the primary communication channel for reporting crime and suspicious activity via WhatsApp – a platform already used by millions throughout South Africa. This data then powers an intelligent technology stack which will serve the entire public safety industry.”

While their journey began in South Africa, this is a universal challenge, and Community Wolf’s innovative approach has the potential to redefine how public safety works around the world.

By leveraging these channels, Community Wolf enables public safety providers and community stakeholders to turn everyday people into ‘eyes and ears,’ building a more connected and effective public safety ecosystem. Their platform integrates seamlessly into WhatsApp and other widely used communication tools to ensure maximum reach and inclusivity.

The global public safety market, valued at $878B, is plagued by outdated and fragmented technology. Community Wolf is uniquely positioned to transform this infrastructure by creating a unified, data-first approach to community safety.
