Category Standard

Peregrine Technologies is a verified GovTech 'unicorn' with a valuation of ~$2.5B and significant traction in public safety (e.g., Atlanta PD, Super Bowl security). While the submission contains sloppy inaccuracies (claiming 'everyone' as the audience and confusing market cap with revenue), the underlying business has exceptional real-world utility and verified commercial success. The score reflects its status as a high-impact, late-stage venture, penalized slightly for the low-quality submission data.

Description
At Peregrine, we create technology to help public safety harness the power of their data to solve their most important problems. From fighting wildfires to building safer communities, Peregrine is dedicated to helping our partners do their best work.\n\nOur platform fuses otherwise disconnected data across secure networks and empowers users with highly intuitive interfaces to search, analyze, and collaborate. Customers tell us we help them find insights that were previously unknowable, and allow them to communicate in ways that have never been possible before.\n\nPeregrine has been used to combat mass-scale wildfires, coordinate emergency services efforts, provide disaster relief to communities, protect victims of human trafficking, defuse organized crime networks, and more. Customers use the same platform to facilitate Freedom of Information responses, provide targeted social services, and share data with their communities.\n\nWe believe the careful deployment of modern technology to solve hard problems in government will create extraordinary positive change for our society, and we seek teammates who want to be part of our mission.
