RapidSOS
Emergency response data platform connecting devices, apps, and sensors to 911 centers and first responders
Overview
RapidSOS is an emergency response data platform for public safety agencies and enterprise organizations. The company connects real-time data from more than 350 million connected devices, apps, and sensors directly to over 5,200 911 centers covering more than 90% of the US population. Insurance carriers and telematics providers use the platform to route crash and emergency data from insured vehicles and mobile apps to 911, shortening response times for policyholders.
The platform delivers data via an API-first architecture that integrates with next-generation 911 (NG9-1-1) standards. Insurance partners send telematics crash signals, location data, and health information through the RapidSOS API, which routes this context to the appropriate public safety answering point (PSAP) in real time. The product suite includes the core UNITE integration layer, the HARMONY AI situational awareness tool for 911 centers, and vertical solutions for first responder management and CAD dispatching.
RapidSOS has raised USD 508M across 20+ rounds from investors including BlackRock, Insight Partners, Acrew Capital, and Apax Partners. The company serves more than 200 enterprise brands across insurance, automotive, home security, healthcare, and telecommunications. Insurance customers include Farmers Insurance and Lemonade, and telematics partners include TrueMotion and SiriusXM.
