Meritech Capital led a $47m Series C financing round in Flock Safety.

Meritech Capital, a provider of late-stage venture capital, led a $47m Series C financing round in Flock Safety, a public safety-as-a-service company. New investors include Julia and Kevin Hartz, co-founders of Eventbrite, and Zac Bookman of OpenGov, and previous investors Initialized Capital, Axon, Bedrock Capital, Matrix Partners, Founders Fund, and Y-Combinator also participated. “Since nearly 70% of crime happens with a vehicle, machine learning and computer vision can capture objective evidence, like vehicle details, to help communities give a detective the lead needed to solve crime. We plan to use this capital to hire the smartest and most ethically-conscious people to help us achieve our mission of eliminating crime. Across engineering, sales, and customer-focused roles, the company will at least double in size next year,” Garrett Langley, Flock Safety Founder and CEO.
