Smart Tech Challenges Foundation

Based in San Francisco, the Smart Tech Challenges Foundation was formed in 2013 with a mission to foster innovation in firearm safety. The political system is gridlocked on the issue of firearms safety, and government regulation falls short of preventing accidents and saving lives. By incentivizing the creation of free-market solutions that improve firearms safety, we can speed up the discovery of innovative technologies that make Americans safer — without altering Second Amendment rights. We have launched the Smart Tech for Firearms Challenge to incentivize new, early stage, and experienced innovators to accelerate the development and availability of technologies that better prevent and respond to firearms-related injuries and deaths. Grants and prize money totaling $1 million have gone directly to innovators to support their work.
