The funding will accelerate product development and Legio’s engagement with design partners across college and university public safety departments — among the most operationally complex and heavily regulated environments in security.Legio is being built as the operational backbone campus safety teams run their day on — dispatch, incident response, case work, patrols, and asset management in one system of record. Because the work happens inside Legio, the reports and compliance artifacts these departments owe — from the daily crime log to the Annual Security Report — assemble from live operational data, with the safety team in the loop at every step.Get the latest headlines, breaking news and columns.By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.A welcome email is on its way.

Please try againLegio was founded by Darren Hill (CEO), Mike Wertman, and Joe Crampton — operators with deep experience across campus public safety and enterprise security software.“Campus public safety has been running on platforms built for generic enterprise and bolted on for higher education. Teams carry heavy reporting obligations on top of round-the-clock operations, and the work of documenting the shift crowds out the work of protecting the campus. We’re rebuilding the category from the ground up.” — Darren Hill, Co-Founder & CEO, Legio“This is the kind of vertical software category we look for — deep domain complexity, regulatory tailwinds, and an incumbent stack a decade behind. Darren, Mike, and Joe bring the domain expertise to rebuild it, and their AI-native architecture is the right foundation for a market this overdue for change.” — Daniel Klass, Managing Partner, Klass CapitalThe seed round will fund product development, engineering hires, and Legio’s design partner program across higher education.Klass Capital is a growth equity firm investing in category-defining B2B technology companies. The firm partners with elite founders building durable, mission-critical software businesses, with a particular focus on AI-native platforms, vertical SaaS, and tech-enabled services.

Safety teams run their daily operations inside Legio — incident management, guard tour, dispatch, case management, regulatory reporting, and asset management — and the compliance record falls out of that work automatically. One connected system, built so teams spend their time on presence, judgment, and response instead of paperwork.
