How many security guard services do you know of, or do you think most people know of? My guess is that the market is opaque, fragmented, highly variable, and prohibitively expensive for many needs and use cases. This service probably doesn't kill off high-end security guard businesses, so much as it puts more security guards (or other, similar personnel down the line -- valets, caterers, etc.) within reach of customers who wouldn't otherwise have considered them an option until now. It's pushing out one demand curve, while creating options for others.
Bouncers look like a pretty small niche right now, but there seem to be lots of extensible paths. This isn't a cure for cancer, but it's an interesting approach to a non-obvious market. How many people have private parties every year? How many of those parties could potentially use this service? Even a fraction of that is a pretty enormous potential TAM if you think about it.
