      If you calculate the worth of any startup company based on projected growth consistent with Amazon, Google, and Facebook every startup is worth billions of dollars.

      Flock Safety, here’s their self description from their website.

      Eliminate Crime in Your Community To solve and eliminate crime – you need evidence. Protect your community, business or school 24/7 with coverage that never sleeps. Empower your law enforcement agency to solve crime faster with Flock’s city-wide safety platform.

      Flock’s city-wide Surveillance platform sounds more like it.

      No wonder it has such a valuation, the government has a raging hardon at the prospect of constant surveillance and monitoring, nationwide.

      I saw a video from Lehto’s Law about this yesterday. They operate in multiple companies and also work with Kaiser Permanente in the same way they work with FedEx.

      You’re damn right they are worth billions. They synergized cognitive computing via blockchain with AI through sentiment analysis and deep learning. Just wait until they add a touch of intelligent automation, machine learning, predictive analytics, and natural language processing. Chefs kiss this unicorn is gonna be worth trillions.
