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 The team observed dedicated public servants struggle against outdated technology that prevented them from accessing timely spending information and communicating their priorities to citizens and elected officials.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.
“OpenGov made the process of going online very simple.”
“Now that it’s up and running, [department staff] see how much easier it’s made their life. They’re not doing data entry anymore. And our auditors, internal and external, love it because now we’re getting money right up front, where before we weren’t. So our revenue has almost doubled because of OpenGov.”
“With Cartegraph, we have everything we need in one place. Everyone can access it, communicate with each other, and keep things running smoothly. It’s made a huge difference in our department.”
