LeadsOnline and the power of a second look
A pawn ticket. A phone record. A spent cartridge case. LeadsOnline built a business around the connections investigators could not easily see.
Axon sells the camera. The business is what happens next.
The company behind TASER turned police equipment into a connected software business. Its next test is whether saving officers time can earn the same trust as recording what they do.
Motorola Solutions wants the whole emergency.
The radio was the starting point. Now Motorola Solutions is connecting the call, the camera and the case file - and making a costly bet on everything in between.
Veritone wants your archive to earn its keep
A forgotten clip can become a licensing deal. A body-camera recording can become a records backlog. Veritone sells the machinery that helps organizations tell the difference - and put their stored media to work.
Penlink and the business of connecting the dots
A phone record, a web alias, a moving dot on a map. Penlink puts them in the same investigation - and makes the question of who gets to connect them harder to ignore.
VIQ Solutions wants AI to do the typing. The record still needs a human.
Courts, police and insurers need words they can rely on. VIQ combines recording software, AI drafts and human editors - while an Australian retreat tests the business behind the transcript.
Alex Sappington
Alex Sappington is the Co-CEO of Page Vault, the legal web-capture company whose software turns a tweet, a TikTok, or a vanishing webpage into court-admissible evidence. He bought the business in 2022 alongside his Stanford classmate Luke Suydam through a search fund, taking the wheel from founder Jeffrey Eschbach. Under their shared leadership Page Vault has landed on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies three years running. A Princeton economist turned BCG consultant turned operator, Sappington talks evidence law at the dinner table too - his spouse is a federal prosecutor.
Page Vault
Page Vault makes legally-defensible web and social media capture software and services for lawyers, investigators, and government agencies. Its browser-based tool and on-demand service preserve websites, social posts, and video as court-admissible evidence - complete with metadata, hashing, and affidavits - while keeping the legal team out of the chain of custody.
