Our take
Every day, half a million Americans call 911 to report an emergency, and whilst emergency services save lives, their speed and effectiveness are limited by technology. Even though most emergency phone calls are made on smartphones, emergency departments rely exclusively on the anecdotal data provided during phone calls.
Prepared provides a real-time data system for emergency services, allowing 911 callers to livestream, text photo/video messages over SMS, provide pinpoint-accurate GPS location in DMS format and integrate into existing PSAP processes easily. In doing so, Prepared empowers 911 operators to deploy the most effective response for both emergency and non-emergency situations.
The company has shown the potential to significantly innovate upon emergency services (which have traditionally lacked funding). Prepared have also avoided the often long cycle of government procurement by offering the service for free, and currently have over 200 cities signed up, across 40+ states (representing around 20 million citizens). It is unclear how the company will monetize in the future, but they have mentioned a possible freemium element to its service down the line.
