We help people show up to court & mandatory appointments, eliminating technical violations & keeping people out of jail.

About us

Uptrust connects and engages low-income defendants to the services and support they need to avoid jail. Millions of people are jailed every year because they miss court and other mandatory appointments. A failure to appear (FTA) results in incarceration that can be avoided 99% of the time through proper communication and incentive. Uptrust eliminates FTAs, bench warrants, and the resulting incarceration through our unique two-way reminder system. We provide a win-win to all stakeholders: measurable financial savings and huge social benefits to the communities we serve. Uptrust operates in some of America’s largest cities in California, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Florida and Virginia and will be expanding to even more jurisdictions this year. In the summer of 2017, Uptrust welcomed the Draper Richards Kaplan Foundation to our board. The Foundation is a global venture philanthropy firm supporting early stage, high impact social enterprises. Uptrust is a Public Benefit Corporation.

    I'm excited to share that Uptrust has been acquired by Fieldware, LLC. Together, we'll offer county and state governments a more comprehensive product suite in order to boost completion rates for court-mandated appointments and keep even more people out of jail that don't need to be there. Much has changed since 2016 when Elijah Gwynn and I had this idea to use technology to transform the criminal justice experience for low income individuals. Just this week, Uptrust hit one million clients served across the criminal justice system. But we aren't done yet: we can have more impact on a larger, mission-aligned platform, which is why we are thrilled to partner with the team at Fieldware. It's been a formative journey with lots of highs, lows and everything in between. I'm filled with gratitude for everyone who has pitched-in along the way - none of it would have been possible without supportive investors, passionate colleagues, and government partners that weren't afraid to be innovative. I’ve learned so much through this process so if you’re interested in learning more about criminal justice reform, government technology or selling your startup, please don’t hesitate to reach out! https://lnkd.in/dEsQJ_Mn
