🔛 Flock Safety raises $275M at a $7.5B valuation!

AI-driven surveillance startup Flock Safety has secured $275 million in new funding, pushing its valuation to $7.5 billion. Known for its license plate recognition (ALPR) technology, the company has expanded into gunshot detection systems for schools and public safety drones with its recent Aerodome acquisition.

💰 With $300M in annual recurring revenue (70% YoY growth), Flock continues to attract major investors like Andreessen Horowitz, Y Combinator, and Greenoaks, bringing its total funding to $950M.

🔴But not without controversy—organizations like the ACLU warn of mass surveillance risks, and privacy advocates in Norfolk, Virginia, are suing to block Flock’s deployment. The company also faces a wrongful termination lawsuit from a California mayor.

As AI-driven surveillance expands, the debate over security vs. privacy intensifies. Is this the future of public safety, or a step too far❕

🚀 Vento launches €75M fund to back Italian founders - wherever they are! 🇮🇹

Vento, one of Italy’s most active early-stage VCs, has announced a new €75M fund to support Italian startup founders globally. Inspired by Paris-based Kima Ventures, Vento aims to bridge Italy’s startup ecosystem with the world.

Why does this matter❕

Despite Italy’s rich entrepreneurial spirit, the startup ecosystem has lagged behind compared to other European markets. Vento, originally launched by John Elkann (chairman of Stellantis & Exor), hopes to change that by backing Italian founders at home and abroad.

➡️Key facts about the fund:

😀 375 investments planned over five years
😀 €150K standardized ticket size, with follow-ons
😀 Selective 2.5% conversion rate from 3,500+ applicants at Italian Tech Week
😀 Investment committee includes top tech veterans like Diego Piacentini & Mike Volpi

📈 Italy’s startup momentum is growing!

Venture capital investment in Italian startups has tripled in the last five years, hitting $5.72B (2020-2024).

Vento CEO Diyala D’Aveni says Italy just needs more success stories to kickstart a full-scale ecosystem boom, much like France.

💬 Is this the turning point for Italy’s startup scene? Let’s discuss!👇
