Techknowledgy founder Matthew Reynolds has announced a call for early-stage investment to support the development and patent protection of a new group of technology platforms designed to strengthen public safety, online safety, and personal asset protection. While Techknowledgy provides the corporate foundation, the funding initiative is focused on bringing its safety-driven technology concepts into the mainstream.
The proposed platforms are app-based and designed to address growing gaps in digital and real-world protection, particularly where online harm, harassment, or exploitation can escalate into real-world consequences. The concepts center on prevention, deterrence, and early intervention, offering practical tools intended to help people protect themselves, their families, and their assets.
“At the heart of all of these ideas is safety,” Reynolds said. “They’re about helping people protect themselves, their homes, their vehicles, and their families, especially in online environments where problems often start.”
The technology ecosystem is being developed around two complementary commercial models. One platform is intended to operate on a subscription basis, while another will follow an advertising-supported structure similar to established social platforms. Together, the models are designed to balance accessibility for users with sustainable revenue opportunities for investors.
Techknowledgy's motivation for building these platforms comes from years of observation and personal experience. He cites exposure to online harassment, the lack of effective intervention tools on major platforms, and broader concerns about the vulnerability of individuals in digital spaces. In many cases, he believes existing systems react too late, after harm has already occurred.
“If risks are identified earlier, a lot of damage can be prevented,” he said. “Online harm doesn’t exist in isolation. It often leads somewhere else, and that’s the part we need to stop.”
Unlike many technology founders, Reynolds does not come from a formal tech or startup background. Instead, he describes himself as an ideas-led problem solver shaped by generational influence. Both his father and grandfather were analytical thinkers who encouraged questioning why common problems persist without practical solutions.
His approach to innovation is deliberately simple and observational. Rather than chasing trends, Reynolds focuses on identifying overlooked gaps and addressing them directly. “Everyone talks about thinking outside the box,” he said. “I prefer to slow things down and look closely at what’s already there and what people have missed.”
To date, Reynolds has begun the patent process for multiple concepts and is seeking funding primarily to secure dedicated patent expertise. Investment would allow him to work closely with patent professionals, protect additional intellectual property, and begin assembling the specialist teams required to bring the platforms to market.
“Funding is what unlocks the next stage,” he said. “It allows these ideas to be properly protected and built, instead of staying on paper.” The longer-term vision is to scale the platforms into widely accessible tools that serve everyday users, while offering investors exposure to subscription revenue, advertising income, and potential licensing opportunities as the technology matures.
Early-stage investors and strategic partners are invited to engage in discussions around funding, intellectual property development, and long-term commercial strategy.
