Announcing Our Investment in GovWell
We’re thrilled to announce that Work-Bench led GovWell’s $4.5M Seed round with participation from existing investor Bienville Capital, to support GovWell’s mission to help governments serve communities better with modern software.
Right now, America’s 80,000+ local governments spend $1.8 trillion per year on a wide range of essential services. Yet, much of that software remains inefficient, clunky, on-premise, and decades-old.
Co-founders Troy LeCaire and Ben Cohen’s experiences with government helped them recognize just how painful this antiquated software really is for both the municipality user and for us as citizens utilizing government services.
GovWell’s cloud-native, multi-tenant, no-code solution automates core workflows for local government agencies, including Building and Planning, Fire, Public Works, Health, and Parks and Recreation departments.
Today they serve more than a dozen government agencies in seven states representing 200,000+ citizens. Customers are seeing as much as a 90% reduction in time to renew licenses, issue permits, and conduct inspections.
The team’s early hustle, massive vision, and relentless energy has made them an unstoppable force and we know GovWell is just getting started! Congratulations to the entire team! 🔥
