🚨 Excited to share some incredible news from our portfolio company, @call_hyper 🚨 Today, they're emerging from stealth with a $6.3M seed round led by @EniacVC to revolutionize emergency response through AI voice technology. Hyper's platform automates non-emergency 911 calls—handling questions, texting links, forwarding calls, and even taking police reports—freeing up human operators for life-or-death situations. As Benjamin Sanders (@8ENsa) CEO and co-founder, puts it: "Imagine getting stuck talking to someone for eight minutes about a neighbour’s dog barking, only to answer the next call late... and hear the trembling voice of a 5-year-old whose dad has just collapsed." Ripple Ventures is proud to have been early believers in Ben, Damian McCabe (CPO), and the Hyper team since we led their very first investment at the pre-seed stage, then spearheaded the seed fundraising process, introducing them to our friend @nihalmehta at Eniac Ventures who stepped up as lead investor. Excited to also be joing by amazing investors like @GreatPointVC @tuskventures , and K5 Global in this oversubscribed round. It's been a frenetic journey, closing in under two months, and we're proud to continue supporting their mission to reduce stress on understaffed 911 centers, support more languages, integrate deeply with existing systems, and ultimately save lives. Hyper is already live with multiple centers and training on real 911 data! Congrats to the team on this milestone!
