Firefly Raises $20M for AI Physical Safety Platform

Firefly Technology Inc. has raised $20 million in a Series A round led by Definition Capital, with participation from BoxGroup and Susa Ventures, to expand its AI-powered physical safety platform. The startup's Ember Safety Management platform integrates existing security cameras, sensors and radios into a single intelligent system that can detect incidents, provide context and coordinate responses. Firefly has also developed specialized hardware including wearable panic buttons, AI beacons for gunshot detection and panic button triangulation. The platform is already deployed across three campuses at Front Range Community College in Colorado, with plans to expand to hospitals, enterprise campuses and other venues.
