Rahul Sidhu, whose drone startup Aerodome Flock Safety bought for more than USD 300 million in October 2024, is leaving Flock for a role as entrepreneur-in-residence on Andreessen Horowitz's American Dynamism team, DroneXL reports. Sidhu announced the move on LinkedIn on 2 November.
Sidhu became Flock's vice president of aviation after the takeover and had risen to chief strategy officer by August 2026. He led the Drone as First Responder product, which chief executive Garrett Langley calls Flock's fastest-growing business unit.
He leaves days after about 270 Flock employees, roughly 18% of the company, left under a buyout programme that closed at the end of October. Flock's US-built Alpha drone, promised to early-access customers by the end of 2025, is still sold as an early-access product, DroneXL says.
