Hello! Who are you and what business did you start?

My name is Peter Thorpe and I started FireAvert. We sell a few different products that prevent fires, but our main product is one that plugs into your oven and prevents the #1 cause of fires, unattended cooking.

FireAvert technology syncs to the sound of the smoke detector and will automatically cut power to the stove and range if the smoke alarm goes off.

We mostly sell to multi-family property owners and senior living properties. We do have an e-commerce presence, but the B2B side is where we do 95% of our business. We did over $2 million in revenue in 2018 and should double that in 2019.
