The All-in-One Station Operations Platform for Fire & EMS

Investor Presentation - 2026

01

The Problem

Fire & EMS departments are stuck between paper and overpriced software

Enterprise operations platforms cost $5,000-$20,000/year with multi-year contracts. Small and volunteer departments - which make up the majority of the 42,000+ fire/EMS agencies in the US - can't afford them.

The result: critical operations run on paper, spreadsheets, and whiteboards. Narcotics logs get lost. Vehicle checks are forgotten. Training certifications expire without notice. Departments fail audits.

Most departments are underserved. The majority use paper or outdated tools because existing software is too expensive, too complex, or requires long-term contracts they can't commit to.

AI Advantage

An AI-ready platform competitors can't match

RunBoard is built from the ground up with AI integration in mind. Our architecture supports AI features that no competitor in the fire/EMS space is building. The AI roadmap includes:

AI PCR Narrative WritingParamedics enter bullet points → AI writes a complete, compliant patient care report in seconds. The most hated task in EMS - done in 2 minutes instead of 30. In development.
AI Protocol Assistant"What's the protocol for a 68yo with chest pain on Xarelto?" - instant answers referenced to department protocols. In development.
AI Grant WritingAI generates FEMA grant narratives from actual department data - call volume, equipment age, response times. In development.
Predictive StaffingAI analyzes call volume patterns, leave schedules, and certification data to recommend optimal crew assignments. In development.

Why This Matters

The market is starved for affordable tooling

Most station-operations software starts at $5,000-$12,000 per year. Small career, volunteer, and combination departments make do with paper, spreadsheets, and binders - or pay for a competitor and resent it.

RunBoard is built by first responders with decades of operational experience and subject-matter expertise across public safety logistics, training, operations, administration, IT, and programming. The pricing is transparent. The product is one platform with everything in it. The bet is simple: departments that have been priced out are a real, addressable market - and they tell each other when they find something that finally works.
