Uptrust
Seed Round in 2021
Uptrust, Inc. is a software company that focuses on improving access to the criminal justice system for low-income defendants. Its software integrates with existing case management systems to automate messaging, allowing defendants to communicate with their public defenders, ask questions, and express concerns. The application is particularly beneficial for individuals booked into local jails pretrial, helping them comply with court requirements and reducing technical violations that could lead to incarceration. Additionally, Uptrust's tools assist municipal courts by providing text reminders, tracking attendance rates, and offering a public-facing website for users to manage their contact information for court reminders. The company serves various stakeholders within the criminal justice system, including public defenders, probation and parole services, specialty courts, and district courts across California, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in San Francisco, Uptrust aims to keep individuals who do not belong in jail out of the system.
