Flock Safety is one of the a16z-backed companies we flag as on fire now — not because of hype adjectives, but because of category position, capital intensity, and what founders/investors are actually hiring it for.

Public-safety technology (ALPR / camera networks) used by thousands of agencies.

Why it is interesting (the job to be done)
