RapidSOS is an award-winning emergency technology company that builds transformative technology to save lives. Partnering with Internet of Things (IoT) companies and the public safety community, RapidSOS provides a proprietary rich data link to public safety – sending lifesaving data to aid in emergency response.

By analyzing data around when and where emergencies are occurring, RapidSOS is developing technology to predict and preempt emergencies and dynamically warn people in harm's way – a complete paradigm shift from emergency response to emergency prediction and preemption.

Mission: After personally witnessing challenges associated with the existing emergency communication infrastructure, our team formed RapidSOS to transform emergency communications.

Having a team that shares different identities, passions, perspectives, and cultural backgrounds only furthers our ability to approach the the broad challenges in emergency technology and public safety. As the complexity of our problems increase, so should the diversity of our thinking. Come join us!
