Our Investment in Intrepid Networks

Riverside Acceleration Capital (RAC) is excited to announce our investment in Intrepid Networks, a provider of a frontline mission support and workflow optimization solution for public safety and emergency management teams.

Public safety agencies continue to rely heavily on outdated pen-and-paper processes and radio communications that can severely limit the volume and type of information that can be shared during critical operations. These traditional methods can create bottlenecks between command staff and field responders, particularly at times when real-time situational awareness is most vital for efficient decision-making. The challenges can become even more pronounced during multi-agency responses where siloed communication systems and disparate protocols can lead to coordination failures, duplicated efforts, and potentially life-threatening delays.

Intrepid Networks aims to address these operational and informational gaps. Their flagship solution, Intrepid Response, helps enable teams of all sizes to communicate, collaborate, and coordinate more effectively during both day-to-day operations and emergency scenarios.

Their modular approach integrates essential edge capabilities, such as real-time mapping, information sharing, team mobilization, emergency notification, Incident Command System (ICS) reporting, and data collaboration into one comprehensive solution. The platform also features ‘Mutual Aid’ shared channels, a feature that helps enhance cross-agency coordination  by allowing different jurisdictions to combine operations on a single channel – improving the way teams can work together during complex and time-sensitive incidents. As a result, customers in the Houston metro area report up to 80% reduction in radio traffic and significantly faster emergency response

The company has demonstrated strong market validation, particularly in the public safety sector where its Response for FirstNet solution is certified for use on AT&T's dedicated nationwide public safety communications platform. The company has similar partnerships with Verizon and T-Mobile.

With growing adoption across police departments, fire services, emergency medical teams, and commercial security operations, we believe Intrepid Networks is well-positioned to expand its market presence and continue developing innovative solutions for mission-critical scenarios.
