About First Due
First Due, founded in 2016, offers a comprehensive, cloud-based software solution for Fire and EMS agencies, aiming to unify all operational functions onto a single platform. The company was established by Andreas Huber, Rami El Choufani, and Eric Stempinski. The inspiration for the company stemmed from a line-of-duty death of a firefighter due to a building collapse, where critical structural information known to the building department was not available to the responders. This event drove the founders' mission to eliminate responder injuries caused by a lack of information.

CEO Andreas Huber's background includes roles in finance at Deutsche Bank, professional golf, and founding other startups, providing a blend of business acumen and an understanding of data's critical nature. COO Rami El-Choufani contributes experience in enterprise SaaS sales and a background in engineering, including exposure to building construction and fire systems. This combined expertise underpins the company's approach to solving complex data-gap challenges for first responders.
First Due operates on a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) business model, serving public safety agencies including municipal fire departments, EMS, federal agencies, and industrial safety teams. The platform consolidates disparate systems into one end-to-end solution, accessible on any device. This integration allows agencies to manage their entire operation through a single login, reducing costs and improving efficiency by eliminating the need for multiple software vendors and manual data entry. Key product modules include pre-incident planning, which automatically gathers data on structures; NFIRS and NEMSIS-compliant incident reporting (ePCR); scheduling and personnel management; asset and inventory tracking; fire prevention and inspections with invoicing capabilities; and a mobile response platform that integrates with dispatch systems. A significant milestone includes receiving FedRAMP High certification, enabling expansion into the federal government sector with clients like the Department of Defense.
