The technology seller did not detail the size of that investment.
California-based SimpliGov launched in 2018 and offers tools for online signatures, performance analytics and “smart” online forms, among other products, via its platform.
The company says its technology is used for licensing, permitting, case management, human resources, legal compliance, procurement and other tasks.
The investment from JMI will go toward platform development and expanding into new “government use cases,” according to the statement announcing the deal.
Technical support and sales and marketing are other areas that will receive fresh funding.
“Our mission has always been to empower governments with technology that simplifies processes and improves service delivery for citizens,” said David O’Connell, CEO of SimpliGov, in the statement. “This partnership with JMI Equity will help us advance that mission, scaling our platform to deliver even greater impact for government agencies at every level.”
Two JMI partners have joined the company board: Brian Hersman and Chase Thomet.
JMI has invested in more than 185 software companies in North America and Europe, and has completed more than 120 exits, according to the statement.
This new investment comes as the government technology market is in a rebound, according to a recent analysis of the market, with 2025 potentially a “record year” when measured by deal volumes and associated factors.
