In 2017, our Founder and CEO Garrett Langley experienced property crime in his Atlanta neighborhood. With little evidence to help police track down the suspects and a dead-end case, he saw an opportunity to make a change.
After working with local police to understand how citizens can help prevent and solve crime, Garrett brought in co-founder Matt Feury and early employees Paige Todd and Bailey Quintrell to launch the company. Since March 2017, the company has exhibited significant growth. As a result, Flock Safety has been trusted by communities in thousands of cities to stop crime and raised over $330 million in venture capital from leading firms including Andreessen Horowitz, Matrix Partners, Initialized Capital, Axon, Bedrock Capital, Matrix Partners, Founders Fund, and Y-Combinator.
Despite its incredible growth, today Flock retains the same vision that Garrett founded the company with: to eliminate crime and shape a safer future, together.
Garrett Langley is a technology entrepreneur who has dedicated the last decade of his career to the bold mission of Eliminating Crime. Garrett founded and leads Flock Safety, the first all-in-one technology platform pioneering a new way for communities to think about public safety — with efficacy, affordability, transparency and accountability in mind.
Flock Safety was founded following Garrett 's own experience with crime in his neighborhood. Upon approaching law enforcement to provide evidence and secure justice, he learned how existing neighborhood security solutions were simply not effective in providing actionable evidence that solves crime. An electrical engineer and serial technology entrepreneur, Garrett and co-founders Matt Feury and Paige Todd founded Flock Safety in 2017 to transform the nascent public safety technology space with the most advanced technology, unwavering ethical commitments, and an inclusive community-forward approach.
Flock Safety’s transformative mission follows from Garrett’s experience growing successful companies that reimagined traditional sectors: Clutch, a monthly car subscription service that allowed consumers to swap their vehicle for any occasion, and Experience, a mobile-first fan experience platform that allowed users to upgrade live events. Overseeing the engineering, design, product, data science, and customer support groups at Experience, Garrett led the sale of the company to Cox Enterprises for $200 million in 2014.
Outside of work, Garrett dedicates his time to inspire future engineers to build technology that serves as a force for good.
Garrett sits on several Boards through his alma mater, the Georgia Institute of Technology, including the Advisory Board for the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, the Georgia Tech Athletic Association Alexander Tharpe Board, and the Board of Directors of Georgia Advanced Technology Ventures (GATV), which supports Georgia Tech’s economic development and innovation initiatives. He also serves on the Metro Atlanta Chamber 2023 Board of Directors, the Board of the High Museum, and the Board of the Atlanta History Center.
Garrett lives in Atlanta with his wife, Megan, his children, and his dog.
