We’re thrilled to share two significant milestones: the successful completion of a $10 million funding round and our rebrand to Ember Software. These developments mark a new chapter in our mission to empower fire protection professionals and modernize the industry with innovative solutions.

‍

“Fire protection companies play an indispensable role in protecting our communities and supporting our economy, yet many still operate without modern technology,” said Michael Furlong, CEO and Founder of Ember Software. “We’re focused on rapidly innovating and building solutions that empower fire protection professionals with the tools they need to work more efficiently and focus on their essential mission of keeping people and buildings safe.”

‍

Our $10 million funding round, led by 8VC and Menlo Ventures with contributions from other strategic investors, provides us the resources to support ongoing customer success initiatives, led by key executive Matt Stone, and the development of new features, spearheaded by Head of Product William Clayton. These initiatives include new ERP and accounting integrations for seamless invoicing and tools designed to enable fire protection companies to collect payments more efficiently.

‍

Alex Kolicich, Founding Partner at 8VC, echoed this vision: “Ember Software is redefining fire protection workflows by addressing inefficiencies and unlocking new opportunities for growth. We’re proud to support their journey in modernizing this critical industry.”
