Allan Baw
Co-Founder & Product
Mike Gallagher
Co-Founder & CEO
Allan and Mike have decades of experience building networking and infrastructure companies. Most recently, they built SpiderCloud Wireless, creators of enterprise small cell systems that power indoor venues across the world.
After SpiderCloud, their paths diverged. Allan became CEO of an ML/AI company developing digital biomarkers for mental healthcare. Mike became President of Exium, a SASE company. Both continued building at the intersection of networks and intelligence.
In 2023—just months after the ChatGPT moment of November 2022—one of Allan's investors asked him to evaluate an LLM AI company. Allan immediately understood the technology's transformative potential and started learning and building.
Allan built an iOS app using GenAI to answer questions from YouTube videos. Then he went deeper, creating a GenAI product for leading researchers and scientists at Northwestern, NYU, and the University of Chicago.
In 2025, Allan recognized that he could combine his newfound GenAI building expertise with his decades of networking domain knowledge. He teamed up with Mike Gallagher, and together they created FlowMind Networks—the world's first Operations Intelligence platform.
"We've spent our careers building network infrastructure. Now we're building the intelligence layer on top of it."
"We stopped opening Meraki. We stopped opening Fortinet. The answer just appears in our tickets now."
"What used to take 15 minutes of digging now takes 30 seconds. The diagnostics are already waiting in the ticket."
"Our L1 techs are resolving issues that used to require escalation. FlowMind gives them the context they need instantly."
