About the Presenters
 
Matt Bloom
Founder, CEO
CRIMEWATCH Technologies
Matt is the founder of CRIMEWATCH, a technology platform for public safety organizations that operationalizes citizen engagement around a shared public safety mission. Matt is a professional salesperson by trade and an entrepreneur out of necessity. Having dabbled with different ventures, ideas, and attempts at starting a business over the years, it wasn’t until he found himself as a 30-year-old single father raising four children on his own that he decided to take the entrepreneurial leap. Fifteen years later, after a significant pivot and many failures, CRIMEWATCH reached breakeven in 2018, is deployed in 16 states, and has contributed to the identification, apprehension, and clearances of tens of thousands of criminals and criminal cases. Today, Matt resides in Lake Meade with his wife, where they have raised their six children.
