Crowdsourced Lost, Found and Crime Reporting App Causing Stir at Top Tech Conference

CHICAGO - April 30, 2013 - PRLog -- New York, New York – TechCrunch Disrupt, one of the most anticipated technology conferences of the year, began on Saturday and highlights the best up-and-coming early stage companies in the market today. One start-up that is causing a stir at Disrupt is crowdfynd, the first ever mobile and web-based application to leverage crowdsourced information to revolutionize lost, found and crime reporting. While other companies have attempted to solve lost & found or crime reporting, none have used crowdfynd’s unique approach of merging the two worlds together into one convenient platform, and this ingenuity is turning the heads of conference attendees at the Manhattan Center.  

The concept of crowdfynd is simple, effective and open to anyone with Internet access or a smartphone. A community of users can create and share posts if they have lost something, found something or witnessed criminal activity. Using powerful social and mobile tools such as geo-tagged maps, photo sharing and social media integrations, crowdfynd offers users the opportunity to quickly and conveniently share information with an engaged user-base focused on improving the community around them.  

“We’ve all seen lost dog fliers and wanted posters around town, but our goal is to give people a chance to share information through a technology they actually use: their smartphones,” says Jay Sebben, Co-Founder and CEO of crowdfynd. “We are taking those posters and bringing them into the 21st Century.”

While the conference will continue through May 1st, crowdfynd has already garnered mention as one of the top start-ups featured at the Disrupt conference.

The company plans to release an Android version of the app in late June 2013.
