Problem
Emergencies demand swift, efficient, and accurate responses. Conventional emergency services often grapple with multiple challenges such as wrong addresses, communication breakdowns, and unpredictable traffic conditions. These delays can result in fines for every late call, misallocation of resources, and ecological repercussions. Such challenges can gravely impact outcomes, turning recoverable situations into irreversible tragedies. FireBot Labs rises to address this pressing need, offering a solution that epitomizes speed, precision, and sustainability.
Solution
In the face of these challenges, FireBot Labs introduces an advanced autonomous drone equipped with cutting-edge AI technology. The moment a 911 call is made, the drone is instantly deployed, racing to the emergency site. Designed for optimal speed and agility, it can reach most locations within just 2 minutes, a timeline that aligns with the duration it typically takes for firefighters to board their trucks. As the drone arrives at the scene, it transmits a live feed, back to the emergency responders, providing them with real-time situational awareness. This not only bridges the gap of critical initial response time but also ensures that by the time the emergency team is en route, they are equipped with detailed insights about the situation, enabling them to make informed decisions and strategize effectively. With no need for human intervention in its deployment, the FireBot drone stands as a beacon of rapid, informed, and precise emergency response, redefining the paradigm of safety and efficiency in crisis management.

Revenue Model

Setting our sights high

FireBot Labs Inc. plans to generate revenue through a service model, initially targeting fire departments and later expanding to police departments. This model is scalable and leverageable due to the multi-industry applicability of our drone technology. We anticipate this approach will be capital efficient, as the same drones can serve multiple clients across various sectors, maximizing utilization and minimizing additional investment.

Key metrics for evaluation include the number of service contracts (with fire and police departments), the expansion of industry clientele, and revenue growth.

Our projected financials show an impressive target of reaching around $14 million in annual revenue within 24 months. This growth trajectory, coupled with our technology's adaptability and wide-ranging application, positions us well for substantial scaling and robust financial performance in the next three to five years. (Please note: these projected figures are forward-looking statements based on management expectations. The achievement of these target figures is yet to be determined, and will be subject to various risks such as those described in the risk disclosures for this offering. Investors should consult the risk disclosures and review the Form C filed with the SEC in entirety prior to making an investment.)

Financial Highlights

Currently in early stages of growth, still in preparation for full market launch.

Historical Financials: Up until now, financial activities have primarily focused on research, development, and initial partnerships. Expenses have likely been centered around technology development, prototype testing, and securing strategic relationships.
FireBot Labs CEO Jonathan Collazo in a production facility.
3-Year Projected Financials: Post-market launch, we anticipate significant revenue growth, especially with the expansion to police departments and other industries. With a service-based model, recurring revenue streams are expected. The initial focus on fire departments will establish a strong market presence, paving the way for diversification. By year three, we project reaching or surpassing $35 million in annual revenue, with increasing profit margins as the service scales and operational efficiencies are realized. Expenses in the first few years will likely be high due to marketing, further R&D, and expansion efforts, but as the service model gains traction, economies of scale should lead to improved capital efficiency. (Please note: these projected figures are forward-looking statements based on management expectations. The achievement of these target figures is yet to be determined, and will be subject to various risks such as those described in the risk disclosures for this offering. Investors should consult the risk disclosures and review the Form C filed with the SEC in entirety prior to making an investment.)

Frequently Asked Questions

Investor frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions and further information can be found below.
What is Regulation CF?
Regulation CF allows investors to invest in startups and early-growth companies. This is different from helping a company raise money on Kickstarter; by investing in a Regulation CF Offering, you aren’t buying products or merchandise - you are buying securities from a company that has filed a Form C with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

Investments in securities of any kind carry inherent levels of risk - all investors should review the Form C in entirety before making an investment, including any risk disclosures. You can learn more about Regulation CF here.
Who is eligible to invest?
The American JOBS ACT has created a new opportunity for entrepreneurs to raise capital and investors to now invest in private, early-stage opportunities. Previously these early-stage investments were limited to accredited investors (those with a net worth or more than $1M or income of more than $200k). Although this is a new and exciting opportunity, there are still some limitations placed around how much a non-accredited investor may invest - please consult the Issuance Express education page to learn more.
What are the tax implications of making a Reg CF investment?
We cannot give tax advice, and we encourage you to talk with your accountant or tax advisor before making an investment.
How was the valuation cap calculated?
Our journey, marked by establishing our first deployment location in Idaho for wildfire monitoring and securing pivotal partnerships with Ericsson Communications and a San Diego emergency call center, has led to us determining a valuation cap of $20 million for this offering. This growth trajectory, underpinned by technological advancements and a successful funding round, showcases our commitment to enhancing emergency services with cutting-edge AI and drone capabilities.
What is the market for these securities? How can I expect to see a return on my investment if I invest in this offering?
Investing in any offering of securities by an early or growth stage company, including this one, carries inherent risk. There may not be a market for these securities in the immediate future or at any point in time, and an early stage investment may be largely illiquid due to the lack of a secondary market. Please consult the Form C filing for further information about risks and the potential of a return on investment.
