FirstRing and Achmea Impact Ventures are teaming up

FirstRing has signed an agreement with Achmea Impact Ventures to collaborate on the further development and scaling up of the FirstRing Crisis Communication Operating System.

This step marks a new phase for FirstRing. The partnership enables us to further accelerate the platform’s development and provide even better support to organizations during crises, incidents, and exercises.

We believe that AI will fundamentally change crisis communication—not by replacing people, but by empowering them. By bringing calm and clarity when the pressure is at its highest. By making teams less reliant on a single experienced colleague. And by enabling organizations to coordinate a joint initial response much more quickly.

We have been building on this vision for some time now, together with a growing group of organizations that are now using FirstRing during crises, incidents, and exercises. Their practical experience, feedback, and critical questions help us continue to improve the platform every day.

After the summer, we’ll share more about this partnership and the next steps we’re taking together with Achmea Impact Ventures.

We would like to thank Achmea Impact Ventures and Achmea—and especially Ralph, Olaf, and Harm Jan—for their trust. We would also like to thank all the organizations that are already using FirstRing and actively contributing to the platform’s further development.
