For the people
who raised us.
SilverSafe AI was born from a tragedy that hit close to home. A close family friend was targeted by sophisticated scammers who convinced him to hand over his life savings. Tragically, the scam didn't stop with him. Believing the opportunity was legitimate, he encouraged other family members to invest as well. Together, they lost everything they had spent a lifetime building.
The financial loss was devastating. The emotional toll was worse. A confident, trusting person suddenly questioned every phone call, every text message, and every conversation. We knew there had to be a better way.
One shared mission.
That experience brought together three people with one shared mission.
Lisa Perez
Co-Founder | Speech-Language Pathologist
With more than 20 years of experience as a speech language pathologist serving older adults, Lisa brings deep expertise in communication, independence, and compassionate care to SilverSafe AI's product design and user experience.
Daren Dean
Co-Founder | Security & Trust
Long before SilverSafe, Daren's career was built on protecting people. He spent eight years in the United States Navy as a Hospital Corpsman and now leads SilverSafe's security strategy, privacy, and data protection with the same sense of duty.
Cleous Hamilton
Founder & CEO
Cleous Hamilton has spent more than two decades building businesses across multiple industries. He founded SilverSafe to build an AI companion that protects older adults from increasingly sophisticated scams.
Together, we founded SilverSafe with one purpose: to use AI for good by helping protect older adults from scams before the damage is done.
A future where no older
adult faces a scam alone.
Our Principles
Trust Is Earned
Trust cannot be claimed. It is earned through honest, transparent, and reliable guidance designed to support the caller's safety and best interests.
People Before Technology
Technology should make people feel safer, not more confused. Every feature we build reduces stress, builds confidence, and makes protection easier to access.
Protection Without Fear
We do not protect people by frightening them. We educate and empower older adults to recognize scams while keeping their confidence and independence intact.
Human Dignity
Growing older should never make someone an easier target. Every older adult deserves to make financial and personal decisions without fear of embarrassment, manipulation, or exploitation.
Privacy by Design
Personal information belongs to the individual. We collect only what is necessary to provide the service and disclose it only with permission, to trusted service providers acting on our behalf, or when required by law.
Always Accessible
Scammers do not keep office hours, and neither should protection. Help is available whenever someone needs reassurance, day or night.
Stronger Together
Protecting older adults is a shared responsibility. We work alongside families, caregivers, financial institutions, healthcare providers, senior living communities, nonprofit organizations, and law enforcement.
These principles guide every conversation SAM has and every feature we build.
Looking Ahead
Our vision extends far beyond building an AI assistant.
We are working toward a future where 844-8-ASK-SAM becomes the most trusted phone number in America for scam prevention. A number that older adults know by heart and that families, banks, healthcare providers, senior living communities, government agencies, and community organizations confidently recommend before someone responds to a suspicious request.
Success for SilverSafe will not be measured by the number of calls SAM answers. It will be measured by the number of scams prevented, the financial losses avoided, the confidence restored, and the peace of mind provided to older adults and the people who love them.
Every senior deserves a trusted voice.
