We partner with cities, law enforcement agencies, schools, businesses, and neighborhoods to deliver real-time, objective intelligence that helps stop crime quickly, responsibly, and transparently.

Our cloud-native platform is easy to deploy, simple to use, and designed with civil liberties at the core, including built-in data minimization, auditing, and user transparency. Why communities choose Flock Safety: Prevention-first public safety: stop crime earlier with shared, objective intelligence.

Rippling is a workforce management system that eliminates the friction from running a business. Today, most companies struggle with everything from routine tasks, like running payroll, to cross-functional planning, like aligning on headcount.

Rippling has every application you need to run your business—from applicant tracking and payroll to IT and expenses—in one place. But unlike other systems, Rippling sits on top of a unified platform. Data flows dynamically between Rippling’s applications, giving every team a shared source of truth, the power to automate processes, and access to the insights they need. This allows your business to execute better, faster. Based in San Francisco, CA, Rippling has raised $1.2B from the world’s top investors—including Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, Sequoia, Greenoaks, and Bedrock.

Stord is The Consumer Experience Company, providing independent brands with the fulfillment network, software, and AI they need to own their direct-to-consumer relationships, from checkout to delivery to returns. For years, every independent brand has been left to compete against Amazon Prime on their own. Stord exists to change that. We give brands the complete commerce stack: the physical network, vertically integrated technology, and intelligence that compounds with every order, so they can deliver a consumer experience that surpasses Prime, while keeping the margin, the data, and the customer relationship. Our network spans nearly 100 fulfillment locations worldwide, serves 1,000+ brands, processes $15B+ in GMV annually, and reaches nearly one in four U.S. households. Through Stord Labs, our dedicated physical intelligence lab, we build and validate AI, robotics, and advanced automation on live orders before deploying proven innovations across our full network. Backed by Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, Strike Capital, Franklin Templeton, and other leading investors, Stord recently raised $250M in Series F funding at a $3B valuation. The physical intelligence layer for independent commerce is here. Join our team: https://www.stord.com/careers/.
