We are excited to share that RapidSOS has raised $100 million – bringing total investment to $450 million – as RapidSOS continues its deep partnership with public safety, developing the first purpose-built AI platform for emergency response.

This comes as RapidSOS surpasses one billion emergencies supported—powered by over 600 million connected devices and sensors and openly integrated with every major public safety software system (5,800+  integrations.)

None of this would have been possible without the 10 year+ partnership between RapidSOS and thousands of public safety agencies who have guided and shaped this journey. Together we are building the first purpose-built emergency response AI platform—backed by $450 million and over a billion learnings from public safety’s life-saving work.

The Investment: Fueling the Future of Mission-Critical Intelligence

In partnership with public safety, we’ve worked together to build the world’s largest open safety network of devices, enterprises, and public safety agencies, connecting critical data directly to where it’s needed most. This network fuels RapidSOS HARMONY, the first purpose-built AI for public safety, which turns that data into mission-critical intelligence.

HARMONY is the AI co-pilot for mission critical teams:

Automatically Detects Emergencies: Integrated with 600 million+ devices and 100 million+ camera feeds, HARMONY helps detect incidents before the first 911 call occurs
Unify Real-Time Data: Seamlessly integrating streams like location, health profiles, and video from cars, trains, rideshare apps, schools, buildings, and mobile devices
Coordinate a Faster Response: Ensuring more effective triage and field operations

This powerful, connected network engages the full community in partnership with public safety on one unified, interoperable platform for emergency response:

600 million+ devices, apps, sensors, and cameras
200+ global enterprises, including half of the US Fortune 10
22,000+ federal, state, and local public safety and defense agencies
1 million+ first responder users globally
5,800+ public safety / defense software integrations
Accelerating AI in Partnership with Public Safety
“We’ve had the extraordinary privilege of learning from the heroic work of first responders across over one billion emergencies.”
Michael Martin, RapidSOS Founder

“We’ve had the extraordinary privilege of learning from the heroic work of first responders across over one billion emergencies,” said Michael Martin, Founder and CEO of RapidSOS. “This funding further accelerates our work to support first responders. We’re accelerating R&D efforts into our AI with the aim to prevent one million emergencies by 2030.”

This commitment to prevention is already yielding results. In rural Michigan, a heroic team of first responders utilized RapidSOS-enabled crash detection, dispatching aid just 13 seconds after the crash was detected—a response that pulled the survivor from his vehicle seconds before it was engulfed in flames. This is the power of connected, mission-critical data built in partnership with public safety.

“It’s clear that the foundational data layer, operationalized through the RapidSOS’s AI, plays a critical role in powering emergency management in agencies across a dozen countries, covering nearly 700 million people.”

“It’s clear that the foundational data layer, operationalized through the RapidSOS’s AI, plays a critical role in powering emergency management in agencies across a dozen countries, covering nearly 700 million people,” said Patrick Kane, Partner at Apax Digital. “We are excited to support the team as they continue delivering and advancing essential capabilities for public safety stakeholders worldwide.”

The Road Ahead: Transformative AI, Built with Public Safety, Open, Integrated, Interoperable

With this investment, we will accelerate our work in several critical areas:

Scaling the Safety Network: Deepening connections with more devices and agencies to make the intelligence even richer
Enhancing Interoperability: Integrating HARMONY even further into 911 and field-response workflows
Advancing Public Safety AI: Accelerating advanced HARMONY applications including advanced emergency detection and predictive modeling
Global Expansion: Partnering with governments and providers worldwide to modernize emergency infrastructure, all while upholding our unwavering commitment to security, privacy, and collaboration

The future of public safety is intelligent, unified, and collaborative. We are profoundly grateful for the dedication of our first responder partners as we embark on this next chapter to build a safer, more connected world.
