Mobi Ventures

From Innovation to Leadership in Emergency Response

Founded in 2016, Mobi Ventures revolutionised the emergency response industry
with the launch of Mobi-Claw911, a cutting-edge ‘taxi e-hailing’ service for rapid,
coordinated emergency assistance. This innovation quickly gained traction,
becoming the leading solution for individuals facing medical, security, and fire-related
emergencies.

The company’s commitment to going beyond the standard panic app by integrating it
with a state-of-the-art control room and a robust boots-on-the-ground operation,
which has saved countless lives over the past nine years.

The success of Mobi-Claw911 paved the way for Mobi Ventures to evolve into a
comprehensive emergency solutions provider. Recognising the increasing demand
for integrated security and medical response services, the company expanded its
offerings to include vehicle tracking and recovery, AI-powered CCTV surveillance,
ambulance management plans, and armed response services. Today, Mobi Ventures
stands as a one-stop emergency response powerhouse, providing tailored solutions
for individuals, families, businesses, and entire communities.

At the heart of its operations is a dedicated team of experts, including former police
officers, military personnel, and experienced medical professionals. This wealth of
real-world experience ensures that every emergency is managed with precision, and
an unwavering commitment to safeguarding lives and assets. Mobi Ventures
collaborates with private and state crime-fighting units, medical professionals, fire
services, and community organisations, reinforcing its position as an industry leader
in emergency response.

The Visionaries

Mike Myers, the chief executive officer, is the visionary behind Mobi-Claw911. As a
former police officer and past chairman of the Westville Community Policing Forum
(CPF), he identified a crucial gap in emergency response; people often lacked the
right contact information during critical moments. Determined to address this
challenge, Mike dedicated over four years to developing Mobi-Claw911 before its

launch. His vision led to the establishment of Mobi Ventures as a fully integrated
emergency solutions provider.
Paul Stone the chief operations officer, played a pivotal role in the crime-reduction
efforts of Westville through his operational leadership in the CPF from 2014 to 2018.
His expertise in security operations and community-driven safety initiatives was
instrumental in shaping Mobi-Claw911’s operational framework. Today, Paul
oversees the corporate and operational structures of Mobi Ventures, ensuring
seamless execution and continued innovation.
Wynand Laatz, the operations director is a fourth-generation ex-policeman with a
decade of operational experience. His role as the head of incident management
ensures that Mobi Ventures maintains strong connections with on-the-ground
personnel. Having worked in emergency medical services, Wynand brings invaluable
medical expertise to the team, enhancing the company’s ability to manage life-
threatening situations effectively.
With over ten years of experience in the emergency response industry, Teresa Davie
leads the sales division at Mobi Ventures. Her background in administration, sales,
and EMS coordination, combined with her exceptional people skills, makes her an
invaluable asset in expanding the company’s reach.
Comprehensive Emergency Solutions
Mobi-Claw911 remains the flagship service, providing nationwide emergency
response through an intuitive smartphone app and a dedicated remote panic device.
The system instantly identifies the user’s location, allowing professional operators to
dispatch the appropriate emergency responders within seconds.
To complement its emergency response services, Mobi Ventures introduced Mobi-
AmboPLAN, a partnership with ER24 designed to eliminate delays in ambulance
dispatch. This service ensures rapid medical intervention, even for individuals
without medical aid, covering on-scene stabilisation and emergency transportation to
hospital for life- and limb-threatening injuries.
Mobi-Trak911 extends Mobi Ventures’ protective capabilities to vehicle tracking and
recovery. This VSS-certified service is recognised by major insurance companies
and offers affordable, tailored solutions for individuals and fleet operators.
For advanced security needs, Mobi-Detect911 provides AI-powered CCTV
monitoring. This state-of-the-art surveillance solution features real-time license plate
recognition, intrusion alerts, human and vehicle detection, fire hazard identification,
unattended baggage detection, and posture threat analysis.

Mobi-Response911 is a specialised armed response service operating in Westville
and Cowies Hill. This division offers 24/7 alarm monitoring, incident management,

neighbourhood watch integration, and crime prevention operations. Additional
services include estate security, retail and commercial property guarding, and event
security.
