AI-Powered Emergency Response and Intelligence Receives $100 Million in Funding from Carbyne
In a significant move to revolutionize emergency response, Carbyne, a leading provider of AI-driven solutions, has secured a $100 million funding round. This investment will propel the company's expansion, focusing on research and development (R&D), engineering, and strengthening its go-to-market efforts in key regions such as North America, Latin America, and the EMEA region [1][3][5].
Amir Elichai, Carbyne's CEO and Founder, expressed his excitement, stating that the investment is a strong vote of confidence in Carbyne's vision and execution. He further emphasized that the funds will be instrumental in accelerating the development of an AI-driven 911 platform, expanding the industry, and driving global growth [1].
One of the key investors in this round is Edward "Ted" Van Horne, Chief Operating Officer at Global Medical Response (GMR). Van Horne's investment will further strengthen the partnership between Carbyne and GMR, aiming to bring cloud-native, data-rich technology to the front lines of emergency response. This collaboration is expected to improve care and increase safety in the communities GMR serves [2].
Henrik Kuhl, Senior Vice President of Strategy and Corporate Development at Axon, is another strategic investor. Kuhl is working with Carbyne to help accelerate the global deployment of life-saving technologies and integrate Axon's connected devices and real-time operational tools with Carbyne's emergency data platform [4].
Participants in the funding round also included AT&T Ventures, Cox, and Hanaco, among others. Goldman Sachs served as an advisor during the process [1].
Over the past year, Carbyne has achieved impressive growth, with a 477% increase in annual recurring revenue, a 105% increase in customers, and a global presence in nearly 300 sites across 23 states and six countries, serving over 7,000 calltakers [1][3].
Carbyne's platform integrates AI-powered real-time support for call handling, dispatch, and decision-making, aiming to deliver faster responses and alleviate staffing pressure in 911 centers [1][3]. The company's mission is to build a safer, smarter world by transforming public safety technology [6].
In addition to expanding its operations, Carbyne plans to invest in strategic partnerships and integrations to enrich the ecosystem of tools available to emergency responders [1]. This move is expected to further solidify Carbyne's position as a leader in AI adoption in public safety, enhancing emergency response and setting the standard for faster, smarter, and more reliable outcomes.
