AlphaPrime announce the launch of AP Vector, the first of its kind safety and security deal flow network, intended to help forge great marriages between entrepreneurs and experienced investors in the sector. 

In this final Part 4, we reflect on the staggering impact of VC in driving exit in 2016 and how their activity contrasts with those of their private equity cousins, and other investors in the sector.

In this part 3 we look at the M&A landscape of 2016 and who the most active acquirers were. The breadth and magnitude of the acquirers is truly surprising, and a harbinger of change to come.

In this part 2, we take a closer look some of the shifting security dynamics for corporations, their increasing need to defend themselves rather than rely upon government, and how they are structuring their security troops. 

We're almost half way through 2017. Time to look back on what we said about the 2016 safety and security landscape, the crime statistics and how the threat landscape is accelerating.

Never before in our history, have we had the number of cameras and other sensors at our fingertips to answer the pertinent questions of “how many attackers” or “what happened”?  Never before have we been so well informed, and paradoxically so utterly un-informed. It’s time to change that.  

In this Part 2, we explain the part of the drone security and safety innovation stack that AlphaPrime focuses on and highlight some of the early movers in this sector.

Unmanned vehicles, drones, offer society the promise of more effective, safer ways of performing everyday, and even unusual, tasks. Whether it’s inspecting underwater power lines, monitoring traffic, or driverless cars that simply can’t drink and drive, the idea of putting machines, rather than humans, in harm’s way is appealing.
