Prepared

At Prepared, we have the opportunity to save people's loves, bringing innovative, life-saving technology to the hands to our public safety officials. The work is meaningful, high-impact, and rarely in our lives can we truly have an opportunity to work in jobs that genuinely bring about positive change in society. For me, this means not facing the Monday blues at all and feeling energized when executing on critical functions in the organization

Both in spirit and in operations, the company has taken strides to ensure every individual's opinion is heard. Senior leadership recognizes that the only way we can hit our company's goals and achieve our vision and mission is by having everyone contribute. Strategy is decided after a lot of input from ICs and operators, and is communicated and re-iterated through bi-weekly all-hands. Culture checks happen every other week where team members are recognized for all of their hard work.

Every 2 weeks, we run what we call a Culture Check where all of us go over the company's core values, and provide examples of team members who had been outstanding examples of these values. We also take time to have team-mates call out if certain values made it harder to operate, or if they conflicted with other values, leading to open , engaging discussions about how we work together better. Lastly, we have fun sessions like bi-weekly show and tells, game nights, team outings etc

I like to say that Prepared is a rocket ship. The opportunity ahead of us is huge, and we've got the right team, the right attitude, and the right mission. Our motto is "Our Software Saves Lives" -- and it's true, I've seen it. The whole team is motivated by this, and I believe we come in to work every single day exciting to have a truly meaningful impact on the world.

At the beginning of this year, we had a smaller team, a narrower vision, and only had 15 customers, covering just a handful of states in the US. Since that time we've grown a TON -- we now have over 300 customers, covering over 40 states and over 20 million US residents. Whenever we show our software to a new potential customer, they respond by saying "I can't believe this doesn't exist already, we needed this yesterday!" We continue to grow faster and faster, and we don't shy away from setting ambitious growth targets.

Our mission is to bring life saving software to everyone. What's great about our product is that it really DOES save lives. Our software has been used to: help administer CPR, deter domestic violence, find missing people, prevent suicides, help people lost hiking, and even in a bank robbery!
