Who We Are
Founded in 2020, Ascent is a venture-backed startup building the unifying dashboard for high-intensity, small unit tactics. Our platform informs incident command where their operators are, how they’re doing, and maps the space. During high risk operations, we ensure that incident command has the necessary information to make for more informed decisions and tasks can be accomplished as efficiently and safely as possible.
None of this would be possible without our customers. Since our founding, we have conducted over 1,900 customer discovery interviews with fire departments across the United States. We currently have over 20 members on our Fire Advisory Board to help guide us in our mission.
