Our Story
Built by people who live this.
A behavioral health professional and mom from Huntington Beach, and a law enforcement officer from the South Bay — two people who saw the same problem in their communities and decided to build the answer.
When her oldest son started riding his e-bike around the neighborhood, she wanted what any parent wants: to know he was safe when she couldn't see him. A way to know he was following the rules, staying where he was supposed to be, and making good decisions on his own. That product didn't exist — so she built it.
Her career took her from clinician to operations manager to program director in the substance use and behavioral health field — more than a decade of building systems, leading teams, and designing programs in one of the most demanding and human-centered industries there is. That background gave her something most founders don't have: a deep understanding of behavior and accountability, and the operational experience to turn an idea into something real.
RideWatch is the product of that instinct. She brings founder credibility that can't be manufactured — genuine community trust, a decade of building programs that actually work, and a very personal reason to see this through.
Brenny didn't come to RideWatch through a pitch deck — he came through a conversation with Andrea about a problem he recognized immediately.
He's an officer with the Long Beach Harbor Patrol and a Criminal Justice graduate who spent years before the badge working in financing and sales. That combination — understanding how institutions think and knowing how to walk into a room and build a relationship — is exactly what RideWatch needs as it enters schools, police departments, and city programs.
His role is deliberate. While Andrea architects the product and the vision, Brenny is the one building the on-the-ground relationships that will make RideWatch's institutional strategy work. He speaks the language of law enforcement naturally, understands how public safety agencies evaluate partnerships, and can open doors that most tech founders simply can't.
He grew up in the South Bay and knows these beach communities personally. When he walks into a school district meeting or a law enforcement partnership conversation, he's not a startup guy asking for a favor — he's a local, a peer, and someone with a genuine stake in making these streets safer for kids.
