The Story
Thousands of people walk home in the dark every night. We just wanted them to be seen.
VISI started in a residence room at the University of Cape Town. Eight entrepreneurship students. One winter. One simple thought —
the people we passed every night on our walks home — the security guards on the corner, the car guards near campus, the domestic workers waiting for the early taxi — were the ones drivers couldn't see. So we built something they would actually want to wear.

The first taxi out of Khayelitsha leaves before sunrise. The last student walk home ends well after sunset.

Cold winters
We're not a tech company. We're eight students who wanted to make something real — something a friend, a parent, a stranger on a cold corner could actually put on and feel a little safer in.
