Hi HN! I&#x27;m Marinos, I made this. To give you a little bit of background, soon after launching Witness [1], I started hearing from a diverse set of organizations who saw Witness as having the potential to be extremely impactful in their field and wanted to integrate with it in various ways. To date, more than 50 organizations have reached out about this. The Parachute platform is the answer to that - organizations receive live video, audio and location straight from people’s smartphones, with emergency routing, archiving and analytics. Here’s a medium post I just wrote going into more detail: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;p&#x2F;c42d0a204a2a" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;p&#x2F;c42d0a204a2a</a>. Cheers!<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;getwitness.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;getwitness.com</a>, now Parachute <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;parachute.live" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;parachute.live</a>
