Who are we?

Our vision is to create a global support network to get trusted local help by our members’ side within 20 minutes.

We provide 24/7 rapid response safety and wellbeing assistance at the touch of a button. The only company of our kind, we believe everyone should have access to help when needed. On-demand and multilingual guidance and support is provided through our app, over the phone and in-person. If our members are concerned, confused, lost or stranded, ill or injured, Sonder can help.

We are a later stage startup, looking to double in size within the next 6 months. Join our journey to make personal safety and wellbeing accessible to everyone.
