For a survivor of intimate partner violence, the path to safety is often a series of small, critical steps. It can mean finding a shelter, documenting abuse, or creating an exit plan, all while navigating a fragmented system of local advocates and service providers. Looped Solutions, a women-led platform company based in Hermitage, Pennsylvania, is building a digital bridge across that fragmentation [Looped Solutions, Unknown]. Its focus is not on flashy AI but on a more fundamental problem: connecting vulnerable populations to verified resources through simple, cross-platform applications.
Founded in 2017 by CEO Kara Wasser, the company operates with a hybrid social enterprise model, a detail that speaks to its mission-first orientation [Crunchbase, Unknown]. While its funding history remains undisclosed, backing from investors like LifeX Ventures and Mastersfund suggests a belief in its approach [Business Journal Daily, 2025]. The core of that approach is the Looped Launchpad, a proprietary platform designed to power what the company calls "digital engagement solutions" across personal, professional, and community contexts [ZoomInfo, Unknown]. From this foundation, Looped has launched two primary verticals: one for patient education in clinical settings and another, more prominent one, for domestic violence safety planning.
The Wedge of Safety Planning
The company's most tangible traction comes from its work in domestic violence support. Its flagship product here is Looped Fusion Purple, a mobile application introduced in 2022 specifically for safety planning [Business Journal Daily, 2025]. The app is designed to be a discreet, accessible tool for survivors, providing resources and planning steps. This is not a theoretical offering. According to local reporting, the Looped Fusion Purple app is actively used across 14 states, indicating a grassroots, community-driven adoption pattern rather than a top-down enterprise sale [Business Journal Daily, 2025]. Recent expansions include a partnership with Vela and the integration of the myPlan safety planning toolkit, broadening the resources available directly within the app [Business Journal, June 2025].
The Team and Traction Signals
Looped Solutions has assembled a leadership team that reflects the sensitive nature of its work. Alongside founder Kara Wasser, the company lists Alissa Jordan as Chief Compliance Officer & General Counsel and Lisa DiMuccio-Zgela (also listed as Lisa Zgela) as Chief Marketing Officer [Business Journal, June 2025] [LinkedIn, Unknown]. The presence of a dedicated compliance officer is a telling detail for a company handling personal safety data. While detailed customer names are not public, the 14-state footprint and announced partnerships point to traction with domestic violence advocacy networks and related service organizations.
The company's activities and structure can be summarized as follows:

Navigating a Regulated and Fragmented Space
The bet Looped Solutions is making carries inherent challenges. The market for community health and victim services is notoriously fragmented and often underfunded, which can complicate scalable software sales. Furthermore, handling data related to personal safety and health requires navigating a complex web of regulations, including HIPAA and various state-level privacy laws. The company's undisclosed funding, while not unusual for a mission-driven entity, raises questions about its runway and capacity for rapid national expansion beyond its current 14-state presence.
However, Looped's strategy appears calibrated for this environment. Its focus on a specific, high-need population,survivors of intimate partner violence,provides a clear wedge. By building tools for the advocates and organizations that serve this population first, it may be cultivating a network effect from the ground up. The recent corporate sponsorship program launch suggests an attempt to build a sustainable funding model alongside traditional SaaS or grant-based revenue [EZ Newswire, Unknown].
For the patient population Looped serves,individuals at risk of or experiencing domestic violence,the standard of care today is often a stressful patchwork. It typically involves phone calls to overloaded hotlines, in-person visits to advocacy centers that may be hours away, and paper-based safety plans that are difficult to hide or update. Digital resources exist but are frequently scattered across different websites and apps, lacking integration and consistent verification. Looped Fusion Purple attempts to consolidate these critical steps into a single, private, and mobile-friendly interface, acknowledging that for many, a smartphone is the safest and most accessible lifeline.
What to Watch in the Next Twelve Months
The next phase for Looped Solutions will likely hinge on a few key developments. First, will the company disclose a funding round to fuel broader geographic expansion or product development? Second, can it translate its advocacy network traction into more formal, revenue-generating partnerships with larger healthcare systems or government agencies? Finally, the company's dual focus on patient education and domestic violence tools presents both an opportunity for cross-pollination and a risk of focus dilution. How it prioritizes these verticals will define its path forward. For now, in a corner of healthtech where patient outcomes are measured in safety and dignity, Looped Solutions is quietly building a digital bridge, one state at a time.
