Our take
Emergency response services currently act exclusively on information provided by phone calls. Callers are usually vulnerable and panicked, and this has a negative effect on the expression of important information to phone call receivers. America's 9-1-1 system was built over 50 years ago for landline phones, making it nearly impossible to digitally send data to 9-1-1 and first responders.
RapidSOS builds tools that provide caller data to emergency services to help them assess situations and make decisions faster. The startup utilizes data from mobile devices, smart devices, and security systems to gain valuable insights into users' location, medical history, and other data. This helps produce a general profile on a caller ID, providing valuable contextual information in emergency situations.
The startup has raised more than $320 million in funding to date, using this to improve the quality and size of its data sets. The service currently operates in the US and Mexico, supporting over 165 million emergencies annually, and has expanded with RapidAlert in the UK.
