Flock Safety raises $275M at a $7.5B valuation! AI-driven surveillance startup
Flock Safety has secured
$275 million in new funding, pushing its valuation to
$7.5 billion. Known for its
license plate recognition (ALPR) technology, the company has expanded into
gunshot detection systems for schools and
public safety drones with its recent
Aerodome acquisition.
💰 With
$300M in annual recurring revenue (70% YoY growth), Flock continues to attract major investors like
Andreessen Horowitz, Y Combinator, and Greenoaks, bringing its total funding to
$950M.
🔴But not without controversy—organizations like the
ACLU warn of
mass surveillance risks, and privacy advocates in
Norfolk, Virginia, are suing to block Flock’s deployment. The company also faces a
wrongful termination lawsuit from a California mayor.
As AI-driven surveillance expands, the debate over
security vs. privacy intensifies.
Is this the future of public safety, or a step too far❕
