Southwest Florida angel investors invested $529,994 in Gainesville-based VOS Systems, which designs lightweight wearable devices to improve safety and efficiency in schools and on worksites. Members of Tamiami Angel Fund V supported the company as its 100th investment, enabling VOS to ramp up production and expand into industries such as construction, mining and renewable energy. VOS’s panic button technology is already used in Florida schools to comply with Alyssa’s Law, which requires mobile panic alert systems to connect directly to law enforcement. The wearable devices also can track worker movements, equipment use and emergencies on busy job sites.
