We can all agree on the importance of public safety. Yet, in today’s world, many of the people in charge of public safety are doing their jobs with less information than an Uber driver. That is precisely the problem that Andre McGregor has set out to change with his startup ForceMetrics. Using his experience as a former FBI special agent and building cybersecurity software in Silicon Valley, McGregor is building a company that aims to deliver critical information to police and other public safety officials as efficiently as possible to help make us all safer.

Andre recently spoke with Roland Siebelink on the Midstage Startup Momentum Podcast to talk about his idea, how ForceMetrics is changing the world, and his journey as a founder:

• How ForceMetrics worked with real police officers to perfect its product.

• The art of finding design partners and getting the most out of customer feedback.

• How to find the right investors at the right time.

• The things Andre is no longer allowed to do as a CEO.

• The importance of not overcomplicating things.
