Carbyne raises $20 million
Carbyne, the Israeli public safety technology startup offering a unified, collaborative emergency management platform, announced a $20 million investment that comes four months after the close of its Series B round. This raise includes additional participation from Hanaco VC, Intercap VC, Elsted Capital and more.
Founded in 2014, Carbyne is on a mission to redefine emergency collaboration, allowing ECCs, first responders, citizens and the state to share live actionable data that can lead to more efficient, transparent operations and ultimately save lives.
The startup, which announced a partnership with Ayalon Insurance, has picked up a new partner – Global Medical Response, the largest private emergency medical services provider in the USA. The companies will work closely to develop advanced and widely applicable interactive communication solutions for the health and medical sectors, as well as to construct new dedicated domestic resources.
“We want to help drive the modernization of systems that communities rely on in emergencies. We believe that live, interactive solutions can not only bridge the intersection between human communications and technology, but can have a real impact on patient care and patient outcomes. This past year has made it clear that health and medical services are most poised for new and innovative care solutions.” – Randy Owen, CEO of Global Medical Response.
“Carbyne has built the collaboration ecosystem that emergency and medical services have been waiting for. Our cloud-based platforms have been designed to create live collaboration and interoperability allowing us the opportunity to expand into new areas. This new alliance with GMR brings to health services a new dimension of live call management between callers, emergency telecommunicators, agencies like EMS, nurses, hospitals and even insurance payers. This leap in emergency communication technology will save lives, immediately. It will help agencies collaborate better and share data and resources more efficiently – all with the end goal to better help callers in need.” – Amir Elichai, CEO and cofounder of Carbyne.
