Google-Backed Life360 Acquires Lost Item Tagging Service Foundog | TechCrunch
Summary
Life360, a startup that looks to help families keep their loved ones (and their identities) safe, has acquired Foundog, a lost item recovery service. The owner can then track to see if their lost item was registered. With the acquisition, all users of Foundog’s recovery tags will gain free access to a white-labeled version of Life360’s online safety and security suite, which includes services that provide identity theft protection, cell phone-based family tracking, emergency child identification, lost item recovery, sex offender monitoring, and an emergency messaging system to reconnect families even when some communication lines are down after a natural disaster. Life360 just raised $750,000 and won the first Android Developer Challenge (good for a $300,000 award). The startup was also chosen to be part of last summer’s fbFund REV.
