Nuvella Labs · Berkeley, California
Nuvella Labs is a safety company. We make tools that help people get where they are going, and home again, with more information and more support than they have today. Our first product is live in pilot. It will not be the last.
Nuvella plans the fastest route first, so you can see exactly what it would cost you to choose differently.
It weighs recent incidents, street lighting and street type, and caps the detour so safety never becomes a huge walk.
Turn-by-turn directions, an alert if you drift off route, and an Escape button that takes you to the nearest safe place.
Start Share My Walk and a person you trust can follow your trip until you arrive. Only when you choose to.
Illustration of the idea. Not live data and not a real score.
Safety is bigger than any single app. We are starting where we can do the work properly, and adding to it as we earn the right to.
Safety navigation. Routes for walking and biking weighted by recent incidents and street lighting, transit stops, turn-by-turn guidance, Share My Walk, check-ins and one-tap Escape.
Free during the pilot at UC Berkeley, in Berkeley and in Emeryville.
Explore NuvellaEvery product we build will start from the same rules: say what the data can and cannot tell you, ask for as little as possible, and be useful in the moment it matters.
Have a safety problem you wish someone would solve? Tell us.
Tell usBetter information at the moment of choosing a street is a hypothesis we are testing, not a result we have proven. We do not claim our products prevent crashes, injuries or crime.
If we cannot show where a number comes from, it does not go on a screen or a website.
A safety score is a guide built from imperfect data. We label thin data as thin, and we never promise a route is safe.
Location is used for the trip you are on. You choose what to share, and you can delete your account from inside the app.
