## Story
There have been 160 Billion-dollar disasters in the last decade, totaling $1.1 Trillion and causing almost 6,000 deaths.More evacuations happened in 2020 than ever before, leading to record levels of emergency housing. And, disasters of all types are getting worse: Extreme fire risk is expected to increase 14% by 2030, and 50% by the end of the century. More than half of the Category 4 and 5 storms to hit the US since 1960 took place in the last five years. In most cities along the East Coast, floods are five times as common as they were in 1950. Every site measured along the US coastline has experienced an increase in coastal flooding since the 1950s. Imagine you’re an emergency manager. You’re responsible for thousands of personnel across hundreds of public safety agencies. But: You and your team have to rely on paper maps and radios as your primary means of communication.Agencies can’t share information with each other or the public in real-time because each agency uses different (often siloed) software systems. Existing technology is difficult to use, and requires costly, specialized training that is not accessible to most first responders. You're responsible for evacuating hundreds of thousands of residents during an emergency. But: There’s only a 5% opt-in rate for mass notification tools.Evacuation updates are provided in confusing, text-based descriptions without a map to reference.First responders waste hundreds of hours fielding calls from confused residents, delaying action during the crucial moments of a disaster.The Perimeter Platform: Real-time emergency managementPerimeter creates a single source where incident information can be updated in real-time, empowering emergency managers to spend less time sharing information and more time taking action. How it works: Input: First responders input points, routes, and polygons. Share: Team members can collaborate with each other and release information to the public in real-time. Act: Residents and responders can react quickly to dynamic incidents. Business model and projectionsThe public safety software market is estimated at $7 billion. Within that market, the Perimeter Platform targets the following distinct submarkets: The Computer Aided Dispatch market, which is projected to reach $2.1 billion in 2023. The mass notification software market, valued at $3 billion in 2021. The weather alert and warning market, estimated as $1.7B in 2021. The Perimeter Platform is used by individual departments, but we will capture many departments at once with a single county- or state-level contract. *Future projections cannot be guaranteed. In the coming years, we will build out our platform to offer additional value to our customers, and grow to partner with counties across the United States.What's next:Perimeter's traction has accelerated drastically since we launched at the end of 2022, with three successful deployments in the last four months. 2023-2024 will be massive years of growth for the company. By choosing to invest now, you will join during a pivotal stage and contribute to the following milestones:Become the industry standard for information-sharing in disaster management. Initiate deployments across 15 states with the most pressing disasters. Iterate on the product and develop more advanced solutions for data analytics and predictive modeling. Expand our market to include public safety agencies outside of the United States.Support our public safety partners in preserving the lives, properties, and natural resources of their communities.More reading: Meet the West Coast entrepreneurs founding startups to fight wildfires, combat the effects of climate change, and tap into a market potentially worth billions (Business Insider)Paper maps, two-way radios: how firefighting tech is stuck in the past (The Guardian)Forbes' 30 Under 30 in Enterprise Technology, 2023 (Forbes)The 2020 Good Tech Awards (New York Times)Bringing fire tech into 21st century (Petaluma Argus-Courier)

## FAQ
1. **If I read the financials correctly, the company’s Revenue is about $30k/month. How do you justify a $15million dollar valuation? Maybe I’m missing something.**
   - Hi Richard! Thank you for your question. For early stage companies like ours, the valuation is based on a lot more than revenue. For example, it also takes into account the product itself, the pipeline of customers that we're actively in conversation with (and our ability to deploy with them), the potential of the product in market, etc. We started deploying for the first time in late 2022 and are quickly gaining traction, with multiple successful deployments since the start of 2023. Thanks a...
2. **It sounds like a great concept. How will this technology be helpful if internet and/or cell tower communication is compromised/inoperable?**
   - Hi Nyamekye, thank you for your question about our platform! This is an issue that our public safety partners often have to deal with, so it's something we've spent a lot of time building around. There's a couple specific ways we've resolved this: - We use proprietary data processing to create lightweight data feeds that are more likely to work in low-connectivity environments. - We regularly cache basemaps and incident data to provide offline access to the most recent data. - Data will autom...
3. **Hi, what is your business model?**
   - Hi Lea, thanks for asking! We sell to county governments on a software-as-a-service model, with annual subscription licenses. Those county governments then provide access to our platform to their emergency response agencies and first responders.
4. **Why is the average pricing per county increasing over time ? What are the assumptions behind the projected revenues?**
   - Thank you for your question, Ranajit! Our average pricing for the first years takes into account the discounts that we are currently offering to early adopter counties. Additionally, we are continuing to develop our platform in order to deliver more value to our customers over time, and will offer more advanced solutions for data analytics and predictive modeling. We anticipate that our average pricing will rise as we develop along our product roadmap.
5. **Hello - Who is your closest competitor? This Tech seems to be easily replicable If you don't have any competition then what do you think will be an entry barrier for a newcomer or an existing large/medium cap who wants to enter?**
   - Hi Pranjal, thank you for your question! While there are some other companies doing similar work in the space, they tend to be focused on either real-time communications between first responders or publishing pre-prepared emergency resources to residents. Perimeter is unique in offering an overlap of the two. Regarding barriers to entry, our technology uses proprietary data processing techniques for low-connectivity and offline environments, as well as secure and dynamic access controls for c...

## Q&A
- Q: How do I cash in my investment?
- Q: Since investing this past June, there have not been any updates or communication. Why is that?
- Q: Hi would love an update... esp given the latest Maui fires :(
- Q: Can anyone shed light on how beneficial this technology would have been for the poor souls who died in Hawaii because of the delays of evacuation efforts and gridlock?
- Q: Hello, Is Perimeter qualified as a QSBS tax exempt organization under IRS code section 1202? Thank you.
- Q: Wefunder I want to invest in perimeter
- Q: Hello - Who is your closest competitor? This Tech seems to be easily replicable If you don't have any competition then what do you think will be an entry barrier for a newcomer or an existing large/medium cap who wants to enter?
  - A: Hi Pranjal, thank you for your question! While there are some other companies doing similar work in the space, they tend to be focused on either real-time communications between first responders or publishing pre-prepared emergency resources to residents. Perimeter is unique in offering an overlap of the two. Regarding barriers to entry, our technology uses proprietary data processing techniques for low-connectivity and offline environments, as well as secure and dynamic access controls for complex data flow and compliance which will be difficult to replicate. We have also designed for public safety use cases by working closely with prospective customers, and have talked to hundreds of departments and worked on-scene at small and large incident for the last four years. It would take years of learning, iterating, and relationship-building to reach the level of trust that we've achieved in the industry, let alone to build a tool that adapts to existing public safety workflows.
