## About

Established in 2025 and based in California, US, Crown Road Software, Inc., trading under the name Ember, specializes in optimizing fire inspection processes through technology. In January 2025, Ember Software raised USD 10 million in seed funding co-led by 8VC and Menlo Ventures.

Ember Software specializes in streamlining fire inspection workflows for fire protection companies through its core product offerings. The primary solution provides a comprehensive platform that integrates scheduling, inspection, and reporting into a single, purpose-built application. This system addresses common inefficiencies faced by fire protection teams, such as manual data entry, paper-based forms, and fragmented communication between field and office personnel. By offering customizable NFPA and digital forms accessible on mobile devices, Ember Software enables real-time data synchronization and report submissions through its integration with The Compliance Engine™. Ember primarily serves fire protection professionals, including technicians, service managers, and owners of fire safety firms across the United States, Canada, and Australia, enhancing their operational efficiency and service delivery.

The company generates revenue through a subscription-based model, offering tiered pricing plans that cater to different organizational needs within the fire protection industry.

The organization plans to use the January 2025 funding to enhance its platform by developing new ERP and accounting integrations, as well as tools to assist fire protection companies in streamlining their invoicing and payment collection processes.
