“Being part of the Sacramento Kings Capitalize competition is an opportunity to represent the people who serve their communities with courage and dedication,” LogRx CEO, Clive Savacool, told EMS1. “After a career in the fire service and EMS, I stepped away from my role as a fire chief to build LogRx, because I saw a real need to better support the people doing the hard work on the front lines. Being part of the Sacramento Kings Capitalize competition means more than just pitching a company, it’s a chance to represent the fire and EMS community and to show that their work deserves innovative tools that truly make a difference.”
