Company: Crossflo Systems

When Senn was named to head Crossflo Systems in 2002, he had 29 years of experience in starting and managing technology, manufacturing and service companies. He previously founded and led Holocom Networks, a Carlsbad networking equipment maker. Before that, he ran FirstWorld Communications, Lambda Link and Production Industries.

How did Crossflo get started?

Crossflo grew from a need for a fast way to share medical records. The software links unrelated databases so information can be shared very rapidly. After 9/11, we realized that such data-sharing technology could help law enforcement agencies work together. We built the company around serving this vital need for government agencies at all levels.

Why does your company exist?

We all know we are facing an implacable foe that is becoming increasingly adept at using our culture, technologies and infrastructure against us. Crossflo enables seemingly innocuous data to be shared securely and rapidly with other data so that further analysis can quickly "connect the dots" to head off trouble.

How was the company financed?

Crossflo has been privately financed and is now closing its final round of funding, bringing total capitalization to $9 million.

Doesn't the real nut of the problem with homeland security stem from the unwillingness of secretive federal agencies to share information in the first place? Is that a market you could ever hope to address?

While it may not be at first apparent, the biggest challenge for homeland security really exists for the tens of thousands of independent law enforcement agencies. They have been recast as the true eyes and ears of domestic national security to predict and prevent trouble rather than just react to it. The federal bureaucracies have a similar challenge but are not nearly so diffused or distributed. Despite some cultural resistance, they are showing signs of adjusting to the new information-sharing imperative.
