• Discreet Safety Technology: Persephone AI operates as a hidden digital vault on a user's phone, allowing survivors of abuse to securely document near real-time notes, photos, bank records, and audio/video recordings without leaving a visible trace .

• Creating Court-Ready Evidence: The app generates time-and-date-stamped records that litigators and judges can use to build cases, corroborate timelines, and restore power to victims when they are ready to seek justice .

• Evolution to B2B Partnerships (Persephone 2.0): Version 2.0 expands from direct-to-consumer access to sponsored B2B partnerships, placing the tool directly into the hands of family law attorneys, therapists, hospital networks, and shelters .

• Born at Harvard Business School: Originally conceptualized during a Harvard Business School class, Ashley worked through operational challenges to build a safe, sustainable platform for individuals who cannot risk paper trails or direct purchases .

• Reclaiming Power Through Documentation: Making that very first entry in a secure vault allows victims to break the silence, validate their experiences against manipulation, and take back control of their lives .
