Her pitch: "Amika Mobile is a pioneer of critical alerting on mobile phones and most recently the first with emergency broadcasts through WiFi hotspots independent of device, carrier, or e-mail solution. If a child is taken in a mall and an Amber alert is issued, we can quickly broadcast the picture of the child and any details and ask all recipients on iPhones, laptops, or any other mobile devices to call 911 if they see the child. We work through partners and focus on the U.S. market and are seeing weekly RFPs [request for proposals] for emergency notification solutions from the educational and government sectors."
