Carbyne

Acquired by Axon — $625M deal announced Nov 2025, closed Feb 2026.

Carbyne's cloud platform pulls a 911 caller's precise device location, live video, and streaming data into emergency call centers. Chaired and funded early by Ehud Barak — with reported investment tied to Jeffrey Epstein — it fuses real-time data on callers, and was acquired by Axon in a $625 million all-cash deal that closed in February 2026.
