Prepared, a company aiming to revolutionize emergency 911 calls, has raised $27 million in a Series B funding round led by a16z. The funds will be used to enhance the capabilities of 911 dispatchers with real-time GPS locations, texting, and image support. Prepared's technology, which provides AI assistance for emergency response centers, has already been deployed in nearly one thousand 911 call centers, serving 30% of the U.S. population. This development aims to enable first responders to take decisive, informed action, potentially saving lives in critical moments. The funding round was reported by TechCrunch and includes contributions from Michael Chime and others.
