Fermata Discovery Donates VIXN Licenses to Non-Profit Organization Seeking Justice

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New York, NY – May 2023 — Fermata Discovery, a NYC-based software development firm specializing in digital investigation tools, announces the donation of VIXN product licenses to non-profit organization, Seeking Justice.

“Seeking Justice does amazing and honorable work,” said Fermata Discovery Founder & CEO, Amanda von Goetz. “I am truly humbled by the founders’ dedication to supporting families that have been profoundly impacted by tragedy and loss.”

Founded in 2019, Seeking Justice (initially founded as Pink Justice) supports law enforcement agencies by working unresolved missing persons, unidentified individuals and cold cases. The Seeking Justice team further acts as a support system and liaison for affected families.

Fermata Discovery established its Non-Profit Partnership Program in early 2023, and provides free, no-contract licenses for its VIXN software to organizations dedicated to working missing persons, cold cases, or cases involving human / drug trafficking and/or organized crime. VIXN (Visualize Intelligence Across Networks) is an end-to-end case intelligence management platform, which enables investigators to work exponentially more efficiently, share case data securely across teams or organizations, and collaborate in real-time.

Jazmin Gamero, Non-Profit Partner Manager for Fermata Discovery, shared why Seeking Justice is an ideal fit for Fermata’s non-profit program: “We selected Seeking Justice because of their unwavering commitment to bringing closure to families who have endured unimaginable pain. Their dedication to solving cold cases and supporting law enforcement aligns organically with Fermata’s mission.”

“It is important to us as a team and as a company,” added von Goetz, “that everything we design be not only helpful to local and federal law enforcement, but also to organizations committed to supporting these agencies. Many organizations do not have the same budgetary resources as law enforcement but do have a tremendous desire to serve and protect. We hope to contribute to their work in a small but meaningful way.”

No Fooling with Fentanyl

Told by CO Investigator Rivera, Texas Sheriff’s Office: It began with a routine inspection when our corrections officers detained a visitor, Brielle Jenkins, after finding fentanyl hidden among her personal items.
