Uptrust Raises $2M, Expands into Probation and Parole The startup has made a name for itself with software that reminds defendants of court dates so they don t get hit with penalties for failing to appear. Now the company is expanding into more of the justice process. May 18, 2021 •  Shutterstock Uptrust, a startup whose technology helps prevent the jailing of people for not making court dates, has raised $2 million from investors and is expanding into probation and parole. The company’s software was built to send text reminders to defendants in order to reduce the number of people who miss court dates and then go to jail, as well as to allow for easy two-way text communication with public defenders. But probation and parole can carry the same kind of punitive measures as failing to appear for a court hearing can failure to check in can land a person in jail. So Uptrust is now expanding into probation and parole, allowing for mobile check-ins and two-way communication.
