These companies offered solutions dealing with a wide range of issues faced by the public sector. From that larger group, the following companies were singled out as the most innovative and promising gov tech startups:
- Fordje: “Cities and construction developers don’t speak the same language, but they have similar problems they are trying to solve,” said Gillian Wildfire, co-founder and CEO. “Fordje is working at the intersection of cities and construction developers to clarify city codes and zoning requirements so everyone can build faster.”
- KeyCaliber: Cyber resilience, exposure management, vulnerability prioritization and asset management are based on what matters most. KeyCaliber’s machine learning models leverage existing cybersecurity logs and telemetry to generate a “criticality” score for each discovered cyber asset, providing automated asset categorization.
- Madison AI: Madison AI’s artificial intelligence accurately references and researches the entire database of a municipality’s codes, master documents and previous board actions for the past five years, providing quick access for elected officials and staff to aid with research and drafting staff reports.
- Tappy Guide: “Tappy Guide provides a comprehensive platform that empowers people with disabilities, seniors and veterans to navigate urban spaces safely and independently, reducing barriers in both indoor and outdoor settings,” said founder and CEO John Petrous. “By integrating Tappy Guide, government technologies can ensure compliance with accessibility mandates, streamline mobility support and improve the quality of life for a significant portion of the population.”
