Bike security shouldn’t be a burden. That’s why LockStop stations will be set up in places you already visit, making it easier to lock up and keep moving. With over 2 million bikes stolen in the U.S. each year, we know how devastating it can be — especially for those who rely on their bike as their main way of getting around. We’re cyclists too, and we created LockStop to help take away that worry. It’s about making your ride safer, and supporting a future where biking is simple, secure and sustainable. Let’s rethink how we keep bikes safe, together. Learn more at lockstop.co.

Some wise words from our very-own Michael Burton, MBA.
CEO @ LockStop - The Smart Lock that Mounts to Existing Bike Racks to Provide Convenient Security and Key Data Insights to Grow Active Transportation
As founders, we spend a ton of time educating ourselves and preparing for investment—pitch decks, financials, the whole nine yards. But this morning, I was hit with a thought: the ultimate investment isn’t capital. It’s confidence. Confidence doesn’t come with a minimum check size or an accredited investor profile. It costs the giver little but adds a value that money can’t touch. We’ve been lucky to receive waves of it—quick chats, LinkedIn comments, emails—all of it feels like rocket fuel. Even if the bank account’s running low, confidence is the capital that maintains momentum. I’ve had some incredible confidence investors in my journey. And our big mission at LockStop is to return the favor by sparking that same belief in others. So here’s the charge: if you believe in someone, their idea, or their mission, tell them. Your confidence might be the nudge they need to push through or take the leap. Confidence investment change lives, and moves the needle. Let’s invest generously. ??

?? Proud to call Northwest Arkansas home! LockStop’s journey has been deeply rooted in the entrepreneurial ecosystem of the University of Arkansas, and we’re thrilled to celebrate their climb to #22 in the Princeton Review’s Top 50 Graduate Programs. Reflecting on our own path, it’s clear how pivotal their support has been every step of the way: ? Idea Sparked: Bentonville Farmers Market ?? ? First Introduction to the entrepreneurial network: Through the Greenhouse and Outdoor Recreation Program ?? ? Business Management & Strategy: Developed during our MBA at the Sam Walton College of Business, University of Arkansas ?? ? Co-founders Meet: Michael Burton, MBA and Clayton, meet at grad school, University of Arkansas?? ? Business Plan & Product Development: Through New Venture Development at the Office of Entrepreneurship, University of Arkansas ??? ? Pitch / Business Plan Pressure Testing: On the pitch circuit in Manitoba, Ontario, Bangkok, and across the midcontinent—facilitated and funded by the University of Arkansas ?? ? MVP Developed: Leveraging University of Arkansas Beta Bentonville resources ??♂? ? Office Space: Through the University of Arkansas Collaborative in Bentonville ?? ? Early Mentors: University of Arkansas affiliates - Mentor Days during New Venture Development. Many of whom remain advisors, guiding us to this day We’ve been benefactors of the entire entrepreneurial pipeline at the University of Arkansas and can’t imagine it any other way. Sure, we all read about success stories, but I can’t help but wonder how many more there could be if others had access to the support we’ve had—and still do. Congratulations to the University of Arkansas on this incredible recognition. Your impact on ventures like ours proves that this is more than rankings—it’s about empowering ideas and building the future.

??♂? LockStop at Cold Turkey Mountain Bike Fest! Mike and Clayton Woodruff, MBA spent the day connecting with riders in Tulsa, OK, sharing peace of mind and hearing firsthand how LockStop can make a difference. Reflecting on the experience, Michael Burton, MBA said: “It was cold this morning, but that first smile—it’ll warm you right up. Every high five, every fist bump, every word of encouragement reminded me: riders don’t just want this—they need it. Their vision becomes our mission, and moments like today are what fuel us to keep doing better.” The feedback from this incredible community has been both humbling and inspiring: ? “This is exactly what we need. I’d actually stop for lunch if I didn’t have to worry about my bike.” ? “This could change everything for cyclists in Tulsa.” ? “I’m giving you my data in exchange for free security and better infrastructure.” ? “This should be a public utility” Hearing these voices reminds us why LockStop exists—not just to solve a problem but to build a movement. To everyone who shared their vision with us today—thank you. Together, we’re not just riding; we’re building a better future. ???? #Micromobility ?? #ActiveTransportation #ColdTurkeyMTBFest #TulsaOK #CommunityDriven #SmartCities ???

??♂? Chilly mornings, warm hearts, and even hotter feedback! ???? Kicking off the Cold Turkey Mountain Bike Fest in Tulsa, OK, with Clayton Woodruff, MBA has been an incredible opportunity to connect with the community and showcase LockStop in action. Partnering with the Tulsa River Parks Authority, we’re bringing convenient bike security to riders who deserve peace of mind—and the feedback has been nothing short of humbling. ?? Here’s what people are saying: ? “This is exactly what we need. I’d actually stop for lunch if I didn’t have to worry about my bike.” – Dallas ? “I’m giving you my data in exchange for free security and better infrastructure, brilliant” ? “So many people in Tulsa don’t bike because there’s no place to park safely. This changes that.” – Bailey ? “This would be perfect for coffee shops, breweries, and anywhere cyclists gather.” ? “I won’t go to a place if I can’t park my bike where I can see it. This would make me feel comfortable stopping anywhere.” – Bobby, Race Promoter ? “I’d love to see these outside our brewery.” – New Story Brewing ? “You need to talk to INCOG and Bike Oklahoma; this should be a public utility.” – Caroline ? “You provide data no one else can.” – Environmental Engineer ? “I can’t believe we get access to this. This is amazing!” ? “This is so much better than my Amazon lock.” ? “I’m building a 200-plot commercial development at a university—this would be perfect!” – Jason Hearing these comments fuels our mission: ? Providing a good service to bikers. ? Collecting great data to help cities. ? Building a better future for active transportation. I’m deeply grateful for this partnership and the chance to bring LockStop to life. Together, we’re proving that solutions for bike security can do so much more than just secure a bike—they can unlock better infrastructure, vibrant local businesses, and sustainable communities. ???? To everyone who stopped by, shared feedback, or got excited about the future—thank you. ?? We’re just getting started! #Micromobility ?? #Sustainability ?? #BikeTulsa #ColdTurkeyMTBFest #ActiveTransportation #SmartCities ???

What a great day! ???? Fun-filled and action-packed from sun up until sundown. NWA Tech Summit in the morning and Fuel Accelerator demo day in the evening. It was such a pleasure to see LockStop co-founder and COO, Clayton Woodruff, MBA share our vision at Tech Summit NWA. ??? “Wouldn’t be the first time bikes have gotten us out of a crappy situation! In the late 1800s, cities were knee-deep in horse shit… until along came the bike—eco-friendly, and you didn’t have to feed it!” ???? Love when history reminds us that innovation isn’t new—it’s just taking different forms. Let’s keep pedaling forward! ??♂??? #TechSummitNWA #Micromobility #Innovation
