What aed team does

AED Team is a US-based specialty distributor of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), outdoor AED enclosures, and related emergency preparedness supplies, operated under the legal entity Show Enterprises, LLC. The company sources AED devices from major manufacturers — Cardiac Science, Defibtech, Philips, Physio-Control, Zoll, and HeartSine — and holds exclusive US distribution rights for the UK-manufactured CE-TEK 4000 all-weather outdoor AED enclosure, an IP66-rated polycarbonate cabinet with thermostat-controlled heating designed for 24/7 public access deployments. Its product portfolio includes vertical-specific bundles for schools, small businesses, places of worship, law enforcement, fire/EMS, and fitness centers, alongside standalone AED units, pads, batteries, and indoor cabinets.

On the services side, AED Team operates the AED 365 Management Program, a subscription-based cloud platform providing a 24/7 AED registry, iOS inspection app, automated maintenance reminders, battery/pad expiration alerts, training tracking, and (on the Pro tier) physician oversight, AED prescription, loaner unit service, and 24/7 phone support. The company also provides professional services covering AED program implementation, 911 integration guidance for outdoor enclosures, and compliance support. Revenue mechanics combine one-time hardware sales (typical price points $1,820–$3,394 per enclosure unit), recurring AED 365 subscriptions starting at $114/year, and professional services fees.

The go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct e-commerce (aedteam.com on Shopify), phone sales, authorized distributors (Common Cents EMS Supply, Rescue One Training for Life), and event marketing at fire/EMS and athletic-administrator conferences. Customer segments are primarily municipal and public-sector organizations (fire/EMS, parks and recreation, schools), with secondary segments in SMBs, fitness facilities, places of worship, and nonprofits. Key partnerships include PulsePoint (for AED registry/911 integration), Compress & Shock Foundation (for underserved community deployments), and the CE-TEK UK manufacturer. The company is privately held with no external institutional investment and is led by Managing Partner Richard Shok.
