SafetyCulture is a global technology company headquartered in Sydney, Australia, with offices in Townsville, Kansas City, Manchester, Amsterdam, and Manila. The company provides a mobile-first operations platform aimed at empowering teams to improve workplace safety, quality, and efficiency. Originally known for its flagship product, iAuditor, SafetyCulture has evolved into a comprehensive platform supporting inspections, audits, asset management, training, issue reporting, and more. Its solutions are widely adopted across industries such as construction, healthcare, manufacturing, hospitality, and retail, serving nearly two million users in 85,000 businesses worldwide.

Founded in 2004 by Luke Anear in Townsville, Australia, SafetyCulture began as a response to the need for safer workplaces, inspired by Anear’s experiences as a private investigator witnessing workplace incidents. The company started in a garage and quickly grew, driven by the simplicity and accessibility of its digital safety solutions. The launch of iAuditor in 2012 marked a significant milestone, revolutionizing safety audits with a mobile-first approach. By 2019, SafetyCulture had reached 10 million users globally, and today, it continues to expand with a workforce of about 800 employees and a presence in six global offices.

SafetyCulture has raised over $174 million across multiple funding rounds, attracting major investors such as Airtree Ventures, Blackbird Ventures, Index Ventures, and Morpheus Ventures. Notable funding milestones include a $60 million Series C round in 2018 and a $75 million raise in 2024. The company achieved unicorn status with a valuation exceeding $1.3 billion and peaked at $2.7 billion before a recent adjustment to $2.5 billion. The latest funding is earmarked for enterprise product development, AI adoption, and rewarding long-term employees.
