Our
Story

Rory Beyer, Moseley Andrews, and Sameer Jafri came together with a seemingly simple idea – that anyone can and should be able to positively impact the outcome of a Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) rescue.

Pursued by their complementary skills and background, they met at a conference focused on SCA prevention and quickly came together to share a vision for the profound impact that a more effective solution could have on thousands of families every year.

With Rory and Moseley’s technical expertise and a novel AED concept, they had developed at MIT, combined with Sameer’s experience in SCA prevention through his non-profit organization – Saving Hearts Foundation, the three co-founded Avive in 2017.

Our
Mission, Vision, and Promise

We strive to increase the survival rate for sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) by proactively empowering people with reliable life-saving tools. With passion and diligence, we meet people at their level and build technology that is as engaging as it is effective. We transform the SCA rescue scenario from an intimidating call to action into an accessible feat that real people can accomplish without hesitation.

Our Vision: That no witnessed SCA goes untreated.

Promise: To enable anyone to positively impact the outcome of a rescue.

Our
Team

We are a diverse and inclusive team of engineers, doctors, first responders, families, and friends driven to create a positive impact. Our story is just beginning, and we hope you’ll come write it with us.
