For people who need certaintyPersonal security.
Personal security.
Within minutes.
Walking home late. A meeting that feels off. A day with more visibility than you'd like. Hero puts a licensed, verified security professional by your side — on demand, 24/7, from $1 per minute.
The problem with personal protection
Hiring personal protection traditionally means agencies, day rates, and commitments sized for executives. For everyone else, the option simply didn't exist — you either had a guard on retainer or you had nothing.
How Hero solves it
- On demand, 24/7. Request a Hero when you need one — instantly, or scheduled ahead for travel and high-visibility moments.
- Your preference, your position. Choose how your Hero accompanies you: behind, at your side, in front, or observing from a distance.
- Verified professionals. Licensed by the State of New York — which requires fingerprinting and a state background check — and identity-verified.
- Live journey tracking. Follow the entire service in real time, from request to completion.
How it works
Step 1
Request
Set your location, duration (from 15 minutes), and position preference.
Step 2
Match
A verified Hero accepts and heads your way — you see the ETA live.
Step 3
Feel safe
Your Hero stays by your side for exactly the time you need. Extend in-app anytime.
Clear pricing, no contracts
Service is $1.00 per minute with a 15-minute minimum, available 24/7. You see the estimated total before you confirm, and the final total adjusts only if you extend time in-app. No contracts, no minimum commitments.
Honest about today
Hero is in beta in New York City, covering Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. Heros are licensed New York security guards — professional presence and accompaniment, not an armed executive-protection detail.
