An Orlando startup that provides Web and mobile communications software for teams has landed a spot in a public safety accelerator program organized by Amazon.
Intrepid Networks, which has its business office on Colonial Drive near Mills, will start the 4-week Justice and Public Safety GovTech Accelerator this month.
The company has in the past worked with Patrick Space Force Base, Las Vegas Police Department and the Los Angeles Police Department, among others.
The program will be hosted by Amazon at its brand new HQ2 in Arlington, Va., a facility that opened its doors in May. Intrepid will be one of 13 companies at the accelerator.
According to a press release, the selected companies “develop innovative solutions enabling justice and public safety agencies to better serve their communities.”
First responders, emergency services, corrections and other public safety agencies were specified as target agencies being helped by the companies in the accelerator.
“911 call centers are facing unprecedented challenges, with high call volumes, legacy technology, and short staffing. Courts and other public safety organizations are being targeted by a rising number of cyber events,” said Kim Majerus, vice president of global education and US state and local government at AWS in the release. “The AWS GovTech Accelerator was created to support the development of technologies that can address these challenges.” The thirteen startups selected have demonstrated a technology solution that has real-world application, and we are excited to work with them.”
