Gate App: Safety for Women in Rideshares

New App Project “Gate” Launches Campaign to Protect Women in Rideshare Vehicles

Founder Seeks $100,000 in Public Support to Build Confidential Life-Saving Technology

Calabasas, CA – August 4th 2025 — In response to the alarming number of women who are raped, sexually assaulted, trafficked, or murdered each year while using rideshare services such as Uber and Lyft, a powerful new mobile app project called Gate is being quietly developed — with the goal of providing women and teen girls a real, immediate layer of protection during their trips.

“Every time a woman gets into a rideshare, she’s forced to gamble with her safety,” said Graeme X. Barrington, law enforcement specialist, the app’s founder. “We’re building Gate to change that — and give women back control.”

What we’ve created is powerful — so powerful, in fact, that we can’t reveal everything just yet. This concept has the potential to reshape the way 6.7 billion women and teen girls experience safety in rideshare platforms such as Uber and Lyft.

Once we launch and establish ourselves as the first-to-market leader, the full app vision will be made public for the world to use, experience, and trust.

This app is designed to save lives. It could protect your daughter, your wife, your girlfriend, or your friend the next time she steps into a rideshare vehicle.

Why Gate Matters:

* Over 6 billion rideshare trips are taken annually worldwide by women

* Tens of thousands of assaults and violent incidents go unreported

* Approximately 8,000 actual rapes and sexual assaults are committed and reported yearly.

* Women and teen girls make up the vast majority of victims

* Millions of women daily feel real fear and fright while using rideshare causing long-term mental damage

* No current rideshare app offers a true real-time protection system

The development team is now seeking $100,000 in public support to fund the completion of the app’s design, development, testing, and early-stage launch. The funds will go to U.S.-based app builder, engineers and legal consultants involved in bringing Gate to market.

“We’re not asking for much — just the chance to build a tool that will save your daughter’s life, your mother’s life, your girlfriend’s life,” Barrington added. “If even one life is saved, it’s worth everything.”

What You Should Know:

* The name of the app is Gate (a placeholder to protect the final brand)

* All core features are confidential until launch

* The app is being designed for global rollout — free for basic use

* First prototype expected within 60 days of funding completion

In addition to crowdfunding, the Gate team is open to venture capital investment. A Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) is available, and the company is actively accepting funding in exchange for share distribution.
