News Summary

• Hyper, an emergency response startup, announced a $6.3 million seed round led by Eniac Ventures.
• Ben Sanders, who is CEO, said the product is to deal with the non-emergency calls that take time away from those critical calls.
• Sanders hopes that Hyper can take away at least some of the stress associated with being a 911 caller, in a way that perhaps even brings more people to the profession.
• “Imagine getting stuck talking to someone for eight minutes about a neighbor’s dog barking, only to answer the next call late, because of that noise complaint, and hear the trembling voice of a 5-year-old whose dad has just collapsed on the floor,” Sanders said.
