Proud to see our mission come to life. Since 2012, OpenGov’s goal has been the same: power more effective & accountable government. Now: 2,000+ government partners, 850+ teammates, 8 offices, and leading the charge to bring AI to public administration. Fired up for what's ahead
At OpenGov, public service is personal. Our mission is to power more effective and accountable government. Government that operates efficiently, adapts to change, and strengthens public trust. Some people say this is boring. We think it’s the core of our democracy.

In June, I joined @techsylvania to talk AI and share the OpenGov story. @vladciurca ambushed me with a game of speed chess against the impressive entrepreneur Sacha Dragic on stage. I lost! Glad to share the OG vision - and hoping for a rematch stateside:)

Permit applications and approvals should be straightforward. That’s why we are working with OpenGov to transform San Francisco’s permitting system. Instead of filling out the same forms over and over, you’ll enter your information once and it will go to every department you

I’m feeling blessed to share: Owner raised $120M Series C and is now at a $1B valuation 🦄 Mom-and-pop restaurant owners are being crushed by huge corporations. We’re using this cash to arm them to fight back. • This round was co-led by 2 perfect partners for us: Alex

Proud to promote OpenGov's story. I don't often slow down to tell tales of yore, but I'm happy to talk about where we've come from because I'm fired up about where we are going. These are stories probably best told over a beer, and many of them I've not really shared before.
Zac Bookman spent more than a decade building @OpenGovInc into a leader in cloud software for local governments—then landed a $1.8 billion acquisition by Cox Enterprises. He founded the company with Joe Lonsdale backed by investor and board member John Chambers, and built a team

When it comes to “effective and accountable government,” see who is NOT a fan. Despite what he says, we’re proud to be all up in the business of government. #govtech #govlove #localgovbudgeting #publicfinance #janicethebudgetbook

The @OpenGovInc Cloud Cruiser was lost in a flash flood in Hanksville, UT, so I took last week off to regroup. I'm glad to be back in the saddle, and I made it to CO! Looking forward to meeting some local leaders. Here’s a cool #OpenGovAcrossAmerica video from @BTVPRODUCTION
