Everbridge
Everbridge, led by CEO Dave Wagner, operates the critical event management platform used by over 6,500 organizations to automate incident response.
Everbridge
Everbridge was founded in 2002 in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, initially as a mass-notification engine to help organizations fulfill their duty of care. The founding team included Imad Mouline, who later served as CTO; the company was publicly traded on Nasdaq from 2016 until its 2022 acquisition by Thoma Bravo. The firm’s High Velocity CEM platform combines risk intelligence, automated communication, and incident-response workflows across 100+ risk types. It targets enterprise and government buyers across sectors including finance, healthcare, energy, and critical infrastructure. Everbridge holds over 160 patents and processed 5 billion messages in a recent year to 600 million people (per the firm). The platform is AI-powered but retains human oversight for judgment-critical decisions. Customers include APL Logistics and organizations across six continents, with notable US federal and state government deployments. Everbridge employs over 1,400 people (per public filings before take-private) and maintains offices in North America, Europe, and Asia. The company's largest shareholder following the 2022 take-private is Thoma Bravo, a private equity firm focused on software and technology. Recent activity: November 2023 — Thoma Bravo completed its acquisition of Everbridge for $1.8B (per SEC filing, November 2023). Everbridge is operationally distinct as a standalone portfolio company backed by a buyout sponsor rather than a family office. Unlike many family office software holdings, it is a single-product platform company with a recurring revenue model, governed under Thoma Bravo’s typical hold period and leadership.
