Excited to share Axon's Force for Good report that covers our Why, What's Next, and our Moonshot Goal.
Here's an excerpt from our Founder Rick Smith, "How can we remove the struggle, stop the sacrifice? How can we ease the journey? Can we tip the scales and defeat violence in such a dominant fashion that violence becomes, dare I say, no longer interesting?...By focusing on technologies that address the problems I care about and wrapping a successful business model around our solutions, our mission became self-funding and could move with speed and impact unthinkable in any other organizational model. Today, we have 3,000 employees working on our mission. We have generated over $15 billion in wealth for our shareholders, and our products have successfully saved hundreds of thousands of people in high-risk situations that could have otherwise escalated to deadly outcomes. I believe with every fiber of my being that mission-driven capitalism works. Capitalism writ large has done more to lift humanity out of poverty over the past two centuries than any other approach. And we now have the ability to focus more of our time and energy solving higher-level problems. Our mission mindset is what took us from a literal startup in a garage to where we are today, and we have even bigger problems (yielding even greater value) in our sights going forward...We aim to pioneer, create, and invent. We believe we are the best positioned to drive the next wave of technology adoption within public safety and beyond."
We’re proud to share our Force For Good report, detailing our commitment to our philanthropic efforts and mission to protect life.
“This report represents Axon’s progress as a force for good across four key areas — our customers, the public, and our products and employees.” - Rick Smith, Founder and CEO
