At PoMful, we understand the challenges of balancing independence with safety, especially for those who live alone or have loved ones who do. Founder Phillip Parrish's journey began with a simple yet profound question: how can we ensure the well-being of those we care about without intruding on their lives?

This question sparked the creation of PoMful, a smart, innovative solution that enhances safety, promotes health, and provides peace of mind—without compromising privacy. Read on to discover our founder's story and how PoMful is making a difference for individuals and families alike.

Founder’s Story: Bringing PoMful to Life

Phillip was having dinner with his colleagues on a work trip when one of them shared a concern about her mother. While her mom was healthy and active, she was getting older and lived alone. Calling too often to “check on her” annoyed her mother, but not calling made my colleague worry about her well-being. They all wondered why there wasn’t a simple solution for this common problem.

This got Phillip thinking about his own situation. If something happened to him in his apartment, how many days would pass before someone noticed? How long would his dog have to wait for food and care? As an engineer, his mind jumped to potential tech solutions. He had some ideas but hit roadblocks with the hardware.

For a year and a half, these ideas simmered in his mind. After an attempt to start another business with two friends didn’t pan out, Phillip realized how much he enjoyed the process of building something. This pushed him back to his original idea, determined to create a solution.

With advancements in IoT and cloud technologies, the timing was perfect. Over the past two and a half years, Phillip has been dedicated to bringing PoMful to market. It’s a smart, understandable solution that offers peace of mind for those living alone and their loved ones, all without compromising privacy.
