What aedgrant.com does

AEDGrant.com is a privately held U.S. facilitator of Automated External Defibrillator (AED) procurement, operating since 1993 from Oceanside, California. The company operates a corporate-sponsored AED Buy Down Grant program that reduces acquisition costs for qualifying public-access entities, with listed device prices ranging from approximately $1,622 to $4,586. Its commercial model bundles manufacturer distribution, grant administration, and CPR/AED training into a single procurement channel targeting government agencies, educational institutions, healthcare providers, and nonprofit organizations across all 48 contiguous U.S. states.

The platform aggregates distribution relationships with the major AED manufacturers (Philips, Stryker, Zoll, Defibtech, HeartSine, and Cardiac Science), enabling cross-vendor quoting and grant-mediated purchase. It supplements hardware distribution with a partnership-based training layer through American CPR Training for CPR/AED certification, and an accessories reorder center covering batteries, pads, cabinets, and signage that introduces a recurring aftermarket revenue stream. Grant applications are processed with stated turnaround times of 1-3 weeks. The company holds or advertises a CE marking for the Philips HeartStart FRx under EU MDR, reflecting at least one device's regulatory clearance for European distribution.

AEDGrant.com's customer base spans small and mid-sized institutions including Cincinnati Police, the City of Norfolk, the City of Columbus, Juniata College, Robert Morris University, Youngstown State University, Sam Houston State University, College of the Desert, and HCA Healthcare as the largest disclosed anchor. The business operates from a single headquarters with stated weekday business hours (Mon-Fri, 9am-6pm), with no disclosed headcount, funding history, or revenue figures, indicating a small, privately held operating profile rather than a venture-backed growth-stage company.

Broad incumbents

• Zoll Medical: Zoll Medical (a division of Asahi Kasei) manufactures the AED Plus and AED 3 lines distributed by AEDGrant.com. Zoll sells direct to medical and public-safety customers and competes with AEDGrant.com in the same AED category with broader resuscitation and monitoring portfolios.

It is a broader incumbent that overlaps with AEDGrant.com in AED distribution but serves a much wider emergency medical product portfolio.
• Philips Healthcare: Philips is a leading AED manufacturer (HeartStart OnSite, FRx) and one of AEDGrant.com's core supply partners. As a broad incumbent, Philips sells AEDs directly to hospitals, EMS, and consumers — competing with AEDGrant.com's grant-subsidized pricing on its own products.
• Stryker (Physio-Control): Stryker's Physio-Control division manufactures the LIFEPAK CR2 and LIFEPAK 1000 AEDs carried by AEDGrant.com. As a global medical device incumbent, Stryker competes in AED distribution alongside a much larger portfolio of emergency response and hospital products.

• AED.com: AED.com is an established online AED retailer carrying major brands (Philips, Zoll, Defibtech, HeartSine, Cardiac Science) with accessories and training resources. It competes with AEDGrant.com for the same SMB, government, and education buyers seeking discounted AED packages.
• AED Brands: AED Brands is an authorized master distributor of Philips AEDs and accessories, offering multi-unit and program-level pricing to schools, businesses, and government buyers. It is directly comparable to AEDGrant.com's grant-facilitation-and-distribution model for the same customer verticals.
• HeartSmart.com: HeartSmart.com is an online AED and emergency response equipment retailer offering AEDs, pads, batteries, and cabinets from leading manufacturers. It mirrors AEDGrant.com's product catalog and direct-to-buyer sales approach, with similar accessory reorder economics.

Others

• American CPR Training: American CPR Training is AEDGrant.com's strategic co-sponsor and provides CPR/AED/first-aid training to grant recipients. As an ecosystem partner, it is comparable because it operates in the same AED-adjacent safety training category and shares customer economics with AEDGrant.com.
