In 2014, Spotlight was simply a prototype application to aid in identifying child sex trafficking victims who were sold online. After initial success, a decision was made to develop the product itself and provide it free to law enforcement. This approach broke open a new model — one that moved beyond innovation to include productization and rapid scale, bypassing existing bureaucratic structures that often hamper access, data sharing, and collaboration.

We bring together a team with deep technical knowledge and subject matter expertise to innovate and deploy new technology and data solutions at a much faster rate. We are able to quickly assess whether new technologies can be repurposed to protect children from sexual exploitation, identifying and safeguarding kids faster.
