Michael Chime, who left Yale University on a Thiel Fellowship, began his entrepreneurial journey by developing a school safety app and ultimately moved to modernize the U.S. 911 system from within. Rick Smith points to Chime as exactly the type of visionary founder whom Axon seeks to collaborate with. Axon, known for its work in public safety technology, has featured Chime in its latest Boldly Go release. The continued involvement of leaders like Mike Wagers, who keeps his email address, highlights ongoing innovation in the space.
Rick Smith has previously noted advances in robotics, citing an event where Beijing robots outpaced the human half-marathon world record by seven minutes. This example highlighted ongoing innovation in AI and automation. Smith’s comments reflect Axon's continued focus on emerging public safety technologies.
