Infrastructure for human support networks.
SEED ROUND · 2026
12:47am
By morning, Kai was in A&E.
2The Problem
The people who care exist. The infrastructure to connect them doesn’t.
3The Insight
Everyone has 2–5 people who’d drop everything in a crisis. But those people don’t know what to look for, when to worry, or what to do. The infrastructure between “I care about you” and “I can help you” doesn’t exist.
Angels builds that infrastructure.
4Same person. Same crisis. Different infrastructure.
Kai’s override rule:
“IF silent for 48h AND HRV drops below baseline → Alert Sarah with location.”
Written when well. Activated when needed. No algorithm decided — Kai did.
The Solution
2–5 inner angels who read your crisis plan. Up to 15 outer angels for ambient awareness. Each chooses their commitment level.
“Sarah knew what to do because Kai told her in advance.”
Safety rules written when well, activated when needed. Graduated override, escalation ladders, pre-authorised actions — your past self protects your future self.
“The override fired because Kai set the rules, not an algorithm.”
Pattern intelligence finds what humans miss. Sleep drops before a flare. Mood dips every Sunday. Gentle nudges to reach out — before crisis arrives.
“Angels noticed the pattern three days before the crisis.”
Works with just a phone. Gets smarter with a smartwatch, CGM, or the future Angels Band.
6The Product
Four doors: Guardian, Tracker, Survivor, Connector. One product.
If/then rules written when well. Graduated override system.
Sleep, mood, HRV, activity. Personal baselines, human language.
Sponsor integration, SMS check-ins, caregiver burnout detection.

7Why Now
Wearables generate data. Social networks generate noise. Nothing connects health data to the humans who’d actually act on it. Angels fills that gap.

Go-to-Market
Angels only works with other people. When someone creates a crisis plan, they invite inner angels. When a guardian sets up elder care, they invite family. When a recoverer joins, they invite their sponsor.
Mind, Samaritans, CALM, Age UK. Angels as a recommended tool in their support pathways.
Crisis plans built with therapists. Professional angel role gives clinicians a reason to recommend.
B2B contracts deploy Angels to entire workforces. Employees become personal users.
Physical wristband as conversation starter. “What’s that?” → “It’s Angels.”
Competitive Landscape
| Product | What it does | What it misses |
|---|---|---|
| Apple Health / Oura / WHOOP | Personal health data | No social layer. Doesn’t know who to tell. |
| Strava | Social fitness, visible identity | No health awareness. Doesn’t know you’re in crisis. |
| Life360 | Family location tracking | Surveillance-first. No health context, no crisis plans. |
| 988 / Samaritans | Crisis hotlines | Reactive, staffed by strangers. No history, no plan. |
| I Am Sober / WEconnect | Recovery tracking | Solo tools. No health integration, no support network. |
| Angels | All of the above — connected. | Health data + support network + crisis infrastructure. |
Angels is the connective tissue. Strava doesn’t know you’re in crisis. Apple Health doesn’t know who to tell. The NHS doesn’t know your friend hasn’t called in 3 weeks. Crisis lines don’t know your history.
