Flock Safety CEO Garrett Langley is only 38 years old. He founded Flock at 29 and runs the company that got massive government contracts all over the country almost overnight without anyone noticing.
Does this seem ‘off’ to anyone else?
Prior to Flock he ran a car sharing app that went nowhere and then an entertainment app that he sold for $200 million that he used to capitalize Flock
Okay, I buy the story so far. Young tech wizard with a little business accumen. Fine.
But then to get all the government contracts from coast to coast? Unknowns have a hard time getting government business with the complicated procurement processes, quoting rules, and the minority business requirements required by many local governments across the nation.
Yet this guy who made 2 apps for civilian use figured all that out? Managed to navigate the non-flexible processes that are different in every jurisdiction, skipped the public bidding process legally required in most of them, all to sell a brand new service without a history of success?
And he did all that in just a couple of years without anyone noticing? With hundreds of state and local governments?
I’m having a hard time buying this.
The growth of this company and expansion into so many separate government agencies went too smoothly. Like it was coordinated at a higher level.
