About Us

Woken Systems Inc. was founded after COVID-19 with one clear purpose: to deliver dependable IT solutions for businesses while pursuing a bold nonprofit mission—harnessing artificial intelligence to prevent school shootings and protect our communities.

Who We Are

We are a New York–based technology company with a dual focus: helping businesses thrive with managed IT, cybersecurity, and cloud services while simultaneously advancing our nonprofit initiative to use AI for safety and violence prevention.

Our unique model allows us to sustain a business that supports our employees, clients, and partners—while reinvesting resources into research and development that aims to save lives.

Our Journey

2020 – The Vision

In the aftermath of COVID-19, we recognized two urgent needs: reliable IT support for businesses shifting to digital operations, and stronger technology to protect children from escalating violence in schools.

2021 – Founding Woken Systems

Woken Systems Inc. was officially launched, providing managed IT services to small and mid-sized businesses while beginning early research into AI-driven threat detection.

2022 – Expanding Services

We grew into cybersecurity, cloud solutions, and medical billing technology—helping organizations operate efficiently and securely. Every service engagement helped fund our nonprofit mission.

2023 – AI Research & Prototyping

We began developing AI models capable of analyzing camera feeds for early warning signs—weapon detection, loitering, and behavioral anomalies—designed to prevent tragedies in real time.

2024 – Pilot Deployments

Our AI monitoring platform launched in controlled pilot programs for both businesses and community institutions, proving the concept that AI can supplement human response and save lives.
