OpenGov was founded in 2012 by Zac Bookman, Joe Lonsdale, and technologists from Stanford University, who studied government budgeting in the aftermath of the Great Recession. The team observed dedicated public servants struggle against outdated technology that prevented them from accessing timely spending information and communicating their priorities to citizens and elected officials. Believing there was a better way, the team set out to build cloud-based, easy-to-use government performance solutions to power more open, effective, and accountable government. Today over 1,800 public agencies in 48 states form a growing network leveraging OpenGov to achieve better budgeting, improved reporting and operational performance, and comprehensive transparency and open data. OpenGov solutions drive impact by giving governments the right tools and relevant data for more informed decision-making and better outcomes for the public.
“We realized early on that we needed to make changes, and with OpenGov we had the opportunity to quickly go back to the budget and run scenarios and make needed amendments.”
“OpenGov gave me exactly what I was looking for, having transitioned jobs and doing something that benefits the people I work with It feels amazing to see the success stories.”
“Our old open data portal was just a repository of open data sets. Essentially, the open data was being measured in terms of quantity, not quality. And, as a result, it made it harder for our site to be useful.”
