There’s a myth in venture capital that great companies come from pattern-matching: Stanford, Stripe mafia, McKinsey background, YC pedigree.

But some of the most powerful companies we’ve ever seen come from the exact opposite.

They come from what we call Dangerous Founders—those who don’t match the traditional mold, but instead hold an earned secret so deep, so personal, it rewires an entire category.

And when we met Andre McGregor—CEO of ForceMetrics—we knew we were looking at one of the most dangerous builders of this decade.

What Makes a Founder Dangerous?

It’s not recklessness.
It’s not aggression.
It’s clarity + conviction rooted in lived experience.

A Dangerous Founder:

  • Knows a system from the inside out—because they were inside it
  • Has seen the failure points not in theory, but in action
  • Feels responsible for solving a problem too long ignored
  • Refuses to wait for permission to build what they know is needed

Andrew is that founder.

He spent years as an FBI special agent, witnessing issues first hand. And simultaneously, he was training in systems engineering. Studying workflows. Watching how bad data—or no data—led to bad outcomes.

And he asked the question no one else was asking:

What if public safety ran on real-time, accessible, and ethical intelligence?

So he built it.

What ForceMetrics Is

ForceMetrics is the only platform that integrates public safety data from 911 dispatch, CAD, RMS, social services, jail management systems and more…into a single, unified view.

But more than that, it’s a platform designed for the actual humans doing the work—dispatchers, field officers, supervisors—so they can make faster, safer and more equitable decisions.

With ForceMetrics, a call isn’t just a dot on a map.
It’s a full context story.
With AI-surfaced insights that help first responders act with confidence, not guesswork.

Why It Matters

Public safety is at an inflection point:

  • Trust is low
  • Turnover is high
  • Technology is outdated
  • And the stakes couldn’t be higher

ForceMetrics rebuilds trust by empowering better decisions at the moment they matter most.

This is preventative problem-solving.

And Andrew didn’t build this from the outside looking in.He built it from the inside looking forward.
