From the founder
Pebble didn’t start because I wanted to build a tech company. It started because I knew the job. I didn’t have a big team behind me. I was still working full time. I just started building around the things I knew frustrated me and the people I worked with.

Built from frontline practice

Technology should support relationships, not get in the way of them.

Pebble was created from real frontline safeguarding experience, where admin, recording and disconnected systems can take time away from direct work.

Every part of the platform is shaped around practical use, real safeguarding workflows and the belief that technology should support practice, not complicate it.
