In an emergency, most people instinctively reach for their mobile phones to call for help—but our outdated 911 systems are built for landlines. Enter Prepared, an emergency dispatch technology provider bringing clarity to emergency response.
Prepared’s service enables mobile callers to share live-streamed video and text with dispatchers, unlocking the power of smartphone technology to enhance first-responder situational awareness and save lives. Improving emergency response has huge implications: just a one-minute improvement in call response time could save over 10,000 lives each year, according to the FCC.
“It is not often that we get to invest in a company not only with a great opportunity for growth, but also with a mission that has such deep impact: Prepared serves both the callers and responders whose lives depend on quick and accurate communication,” says M13 Partner Karl Alomar. “The company was established with a deep commitment to improving society for the better—a commitment that truly germinates from the hearts of its founders. Amazing company with an incredible mission.
Learn why we invested in Prepared and what makes M13 a “crucial extension of the Prepared team."
