About
The problem Hyper picked is that a large share of what reaches a 911 centre is not an emergency, and every one of those calls occupies an operator who might be needed elsewhere. Its system answers, listens, asks follow-up questions in more than thirty languages, routes the caller to the right agency, and escalates to a human — including automatically, when it detects a situation turning into an emergency. The company said it autonomously resolves up to 75 percent of non-emergency calls. It emerged in stealth from Yukonstruct in Whitehorse, with support from Yukon University's innovation arm and Yukon Venture Angels, then built out with most of its people in Toronto and a US presence in San Francisco. The US$6.3M (C$8.5M) all-equity round announced in July 2025 was led by Eniac Ventures, with GreatPoint, VSC, Tusk, K5 Global, TMV, Headline, Alumni Ventures and Canada's Ripple Ventures and Trillick among the investors. By the time Motorola Solutions acquired it on 9 April 2026 the system was running in centres including Toronto and the San Diego County Sheriff's Office. Terms were not disclosed.
