We’re constantly reminded of the dangers associated with technology. What’s often overlooked is how the growth of technological capabilities is having a huge positive impact on helping to improve the safety of billions around the world. In this talk, Leo explores how advancements in technology are enabling people in developed and developing countries to live safer quotidian lives. Leo founded Tended in 2017 with a mission to create intelligent, accessible and affordable safety solutions that are available to all. He has since grown Tended into an award-winning tech startup and has been named the “most likely person to put Lincolnshire on the map for tech” by CityX. Leo oversees all business activities and has implemented a successful strategy that has allowed Tended to scale at an exponential rate, having grown from just 1 person to 24 in just 20 months, closed £1.4m in funding and secured deals with some of the world’s leading companies and insurance providers. With a passion in tech and business, Leo developed two successful businesses prior to Tended. He has also been involved in various charities and projects, from working on a large EU funded projects, through to managing large teams of volunteers in disaster zones. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
