Locuno

In Vietnam, a neighbor can reach your door in under 3 minutes—an ambulance takes 18. We lose 136,000 people to stroke each year, and cardiac arrest survival in Hanoi is just 3.8%. Families need calm certainty every day, and help in seconds when it matters.

My company, Locuno, is building a trusted family location + health sharing app that helps moms of teens know two things at a glance: Where are they? Are they okay? We keep it private and respectful with consent‑based circles, gentle check‑ins, and simple AI wellbeing summaries. And when things go wrong, a verified‑neighbor SOS turns every high‑rise into a 30‑second response grid.

The offering is simple: phone‑only location and daily wellbeing capsules (sleep regularity, steps, balanced screen time) shared only with your chosen circles—Family, School, Building. The audience is specific: urban Vietnam moms aged 35–45 with middle/high school kids in HCMC and Hanoi towers and school networks. The problem is real: teens don’t pick up, commutes are chaotic, and parents worry about safety and health without wanting surveillance.

Our secret sauce: (1) eKYC‑verified neighbor networks that make real help possible, (2) respectful, consent‑first privacy that earns trust—especially with teens, (3) phone‑only wellbeing intelligence that works out of the box, and (4) integrations with schools and buildings that create daily habit loops. In a tower drill we ran in HCMC, a trained neighbor reached the door in 2:42—this is the gap we close.

Why now: urban high‑rise living, mature e‑ID, and phone sensors make proactive family safety viable; parents demand privacy, not panic buttons. Model: family subscription at 99K VND/month (~$4), amplified by school and tower distribution and network invites—daily utility drives retention.
