When I first saw this picture I immediately thought of the show American Idol. This has to be one of those joke auditions right? I mean the guys here brought a Llama on stage. They can’t be serious can they? Seems they were going the “Geico” route this Llama has little if anything to do with their actual product.
Joseph Parisi and Nick Nevarez are the creators of a new security application they call “Guard Llama.” Parisi got the idea for Guard Llama after a murder on his college campus occurred. It turns out that the student who was murdered had a phone on her but apparently not enough time to use it in any way to notify anyone she was in danger. As you’ll see from the description below, the name “Llama” is actually quite applicable here.
According to the Shark Tank Blog
Guard Llama is a key fob sized device that pairs with your smart phone. Once the button gets pushed, a message goes straight to the police with your location and description. There’s no need to dial 911. The company got its name from actual llamas that will protect their flock with aggressive kicks and a loud, screeching sound.
Parisi sees the product as a safety device for realtors who often meet strangers in empty homes. Anyone who wants some added security will want the device. Customer need to buy the fob, then subscribe to the service. There’s the basic plan for $2.95 per month that works when your phone is on. The premium plan for $9.95 per month works within 150 feet of your phone whether it’s on or off. The family plan bundles four premium plans for a monthly price of $29.95 — ten bucks cheaper than buying individually.
