About Path Matching

Path Matching started as a vision by Samantha Vrcic to match anonymous testimonies of sexual assault to reduce repeat perpetrators and empower survivors.

Now Path Matching is leading the community by making universities and communities safer through awareness, prevention, and the empowerment of sexual assault survivors. Samantha is also the Chief of Staff of AKOS, a custom software firm where her mission is to build a bridge between nonprofits and technology to empower people worldwide.
