Who we are and where we’re going
Buoy is a new project from the founders of Ria — a startup building practical tools for resilience.
For the past five years, we’ve focused on hardware solutions. But we realized what’s truly missing is a global resilience network that brings people together.
Our vision is to grow Buoy into an open-source ecosystem with federated data, empowering communities everywhere to prepare, respond, and recover at global scale.
