About FlockConnect LLC
FlockConnect LLC began in July 2025 with a conviction its founder still works from: pastors need better sight of the people in their care, and the software that gives it should answer to churches. Today it has one full-time person, no outside investors, and a public pledge that it is not for sale.

Why does FlockConnect LLC exist?
During COVID, one of Michael Tribett's closest friends told him he felt completely isolated at their church and had decided to leave. Their pastors had no idea. Church software could show who came on Sunday and who gave. It could not show who actually knew anyone. Michael built FlockConnect to fill that gap.
Michael tells the story in his own words on FlockConnect's about page. Ozzie came later from the same instinct, pointed at Sunday logistics: let software do the computer work, so church staff can spend their hours with people.
Who works at FlockConnect LLC?
One full-time person: the founder, Michael Tribett. He builds both products and is the contact for press and company questions. There is no board and there are no investors, so the people the company answers to are the churches using its software.
Michael holds a Master of Divinity in Christian Ministry from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (2022) and spent three years inside a major church management software company before founding FlockConnect. More about him is on tribett.dev.
