GHP #83 - Saving Lives & Re-Inventing Emergency Services with Neal Soni!
Prepared is a start-up building technology to better connect citizens to the US emergency calling system. The company allows 911 dispatchers to send out a text to 911 callers who can be connected to a web application that allows them to send images, video, their GPS location, and two-way messaging.
The venture emerged from personal motivation—I attended Westport schools during the tragic 2012 Sandy Hook incident. This formative experience catalyzed the founding team's commitment to enhancing public safety. Currently, over 30 municipalities utilize Prepared's services.
