This is a rare one. A Sequoia and General Catalyst-backed startup is building the operating system for UK police forces — combining AI-powered investigation software with smart hardware to give officers real-time data and cut administrative burden.
Founded by a genuinely exceptional team: one founder is the youngest Chief Constable in UK history and previously bootstrapped and sold a PoliceTech product into every UK force in the country within 18 months. The other founder comes from sovereign wealth fund investing. The company has already signed pilots and has live on-site deployments running, with a small (10-person), high-calibre engineering team in London.
