We 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.

Years of local and state government
experience on the OpenGov team

Why are we so passionate about local and state government?

Public service is personal — because when government falls short, communities feel it. We feel it when roads don’t get fixed, permits take months, or help comes too late. At OpenGov, we work to do something about that. We build the technology that local and state governments need to lead with speed, clarity, and accountability. If you believe better government is possible, don’t wait. Do something.

OpenGov wasn't born in a boardroom.

We started with a team of visionary Stanford entrepreneurs and a lawyer in a shipping container in Afghanistan. OpenGov CEO and Co-founder Zac Bookman was serving on the Anti-Corruption Task Force in Kabul, while back at home cities across California had gone bankrupt after the Great Recession in part due to old, broken systems.

Our mission to power more effective and accountable government inspired early customers and luminary investors like Marc Andreessen, John Chambers, Laurene Powell Jobs, Scott Cook, and others who saw the potential to strengthen our country and our society.

In 2024, OpenGov partnered with Cox Enterprises to realize a shared vision for high performance government for every community in the U.S. Today, OpenGov helps 2,000 communities leverage AI and automation to become more strategic, responsive, resilient, and efficient.

There has never been a better time to innovate for the public good.
