Prepared, a NYC-based provider of an AI platform built for emergency communications, raised $27M in Series B funding.
The round, which brought the total amount to $57M, was led by Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from returning investors First Round Capital and M13 and new investor NewView Capital.
The company intends to use the funds to expand operations and its development efforts.
Led by CEO Michael Chime, Prepared is a provider of mission-critical multimedia and text to public safety agencies and the pioneer of assistive 911 technology. Its flagship product, Prepared Assist, is an AI-powered, assistive 911 platform that introduces and synthesizes next-generation data to increase call-taking and dispatch efficiency. Recent innovation includes an Emergency SOS Live Video integration with Apple® that enables iPhone® users to share 911 call context through live streaming, recorded video, photos and texts. During a 911 call, dispatchers simply send a request for the iPhone caller to share live video or media from the camera roll over a secure connection, which makes it easier and faster to get help. The new feature launches with the release of iOS 18 for iPhone in September.
Founded in 2019, the company partners with nearly 1,000 agencies in 49 states that protect 97 million people.
