About Us
Experienced Leaders. Passionate Teams. Continuous Innovation.
Our History
Becklar’s history is steeped in innovation, caring, and helping others. We’re proud to call Utah’s silicone slopes home, and our connection to the west runs deep: our name is derived from the Bechler River in Yellowstone National Park where our founder enjoyed peaceful days fishing with his father.
Although Becklar was founded in 2017, our journey goes back 40 years from when monitoring company ‘AvantGuard’ began operations in Ogden, Utah. Our pioneering spirit has guided us ever since, from acquiring Freeus, the leading North American provider of mobile personal emergency response systems (PERS), to establishing Becklar, to uniting the complementary Freeus and AvantGuard businesses – and future acquisitions – into one entity. In 2020, BV Investment Partners, a tech-focused private equity firm, became Becklar’s majority shareholder. Their guidance has fueled our rapid growth, and enabled us to provide enterprise-scale solutions based on industry-leading technology.
