Escape Rescue Systems

Escape Rescue Systems is a public safety company that has developed a multiplatform rescue system designed to be installed unobtrusively on a rooftop with almost no alteration to the building required. The system facilitates the evacuation of tenants from high-rise buildings and enables the rapid and safe deployment of rescue forces to an emergency. The Escape Rescue Standard System consists of an array of up to five collapsible cabins that are permanently stored on the roof in a folded position. Upon deployment, the cabin array travels to the facade of the building and is lowered to the ground, enabling emergency responders to board the cabins. The extended array travels upward until it stops opposite five floors, enabling up to 30 people to board each cabin simultaneously through specially configured exit windows. The array is then lowered to the ground, and the evacuees exit each cabin as it refolds. The system repeats the cycle, transporting responders up and into the building and evacuating people as required.

Escape Rescue Systems has raised $8M in total funding across 2 rounds. The company is currently at the Mature stage. Key investors include Israel HealthCare Ventures, Apax Partners, Veritas Venture Partners.
