<div><span style="font-size:21.3333px;">Who we are</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt;"><b>The problem:</b> Every minute matters in fire response.  As climate change amplifies the intensity of wildfires—with longer fire seasons, drier fuels, and faster winds—new ignitions spread faster and put more communities at risk. Today, most wildfires are detected by bystanders and reported via 911, meaning it can take hours to detect a fire, verify its exact location and size, and dispatch first responders. Fire authorities need a faster way to detect, confirm, and pinpoint fires so that they can quickly respond—preventing small flare-ups from becoming devastating infernos. </span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt;"><b>About Pano: </b>We are a 130+ person growth-stage hybrid-remote start-up, headquartered in San Francisco.  We are the leader in early wildfire detection and intelligence, helping fire professionals respond to fires faster and more safely—with the right equipment, timely information, and enhanced coordination—so that they can stop a new ignition before it grows.  Pano AI combines advanced hardware, software, and artificial intelligence into an easy-to-use, web-based platform.
