Our take
Over the years, organizations have gradually increased their focus on employee safety and emergency preparedness, but the growing number of climate change-related incidents such as floods, wildfires and heatwaves have made this an urgent necessity. AlertMedia’s software enables businesses to quickly identify risks to their people or locations and communicate instantly with those impacted, ultimately minimizing response times during emergencies.
AlertMedia is the world’s leading provider of its kind due to its innovative two-way multichannel messaging system and threat intelligence, and has been experienced double digit annual revenue growth since its founding. The company supports thousands of organizations around the world including popular brands such as Walmart, JetBlue, Coca-Cola Bottling, DHL, and Volvo.
In 2021, AlertMedia signed an agreement to receive strategic growth investment from Vista Equity Partners, bringing in investment that will go towards accelerating its product roadmap and continuing expansion into new markets. This will ensure enterprises of all sizes are being protected during critical events.
