Despite its importance, our 911 system is ill equipped to handle many modern emergencies. That’s why we’re proud to invest in @Prepared_HQ @michael__chime @NealSoni00, which is the advanced data layer for 911. 👇

[David Ulevitch 🇺🇸 @davidu]

I teased this a bit in yesterday's post, and today I'm thrilled to announce my investment in @Prepared_HQ – The superhero version of 911. An advanced AI-assisted 911 upgrade is long overdue, and now underway thanks to Prepared. Read more: https://t.co/rJjWIUnEUG

Managing your money sucks and trackers are boring. We don't think it should be that way.

We're excited to announce our $3.6M seed round from @sparkcapital @GradientV @balajis @KDTrey5 +++ more to help people take control their financial future.

We asked our friends at @8vc to tell us about an early-stage company we should have on our radar.

He told us to look into @Prepared_HQ

After some digging, here’s why they should be on your radar too: (a thread🧵)

Welcome to a new era of emergency response, where every stakeholder is empowered by never-before-accessible, lifesaving data.

From the caller, to 911 professionals, to field responders, the paradigm has shifted.

CEO @Michael__Chime recently penned a piece for the Winter 2022 Edition of the Michigan Police Chiefs magazine.

He dives into historical underfunding of 9-1-1 and how privately developed solutions have stepped in to play a key role in advancing #PublicSafety for Americans:

“Prepared Live is one of those programs that as we have implemented, we realize has been something that has been lacking in the #dispatch center for years.”

Read about how we're helping drive #emergency communications forward to maximize #PublicSafety:

[Prepared @Prepared_HQ]

Every day @Prepared_HQ we ask ourselves two key questions:

1) How can we maximize our impact on #PublicSafety?
2) What can we do to empower #Dispatchers, #FirstResponders, and #emergency callers?

Then we work tirelessly to answer them.
