STEPHEN CAINES \ SAN JOSE, CA
CivStart continues to play a vital role in government innovation by serving as an applied incubator for the next generation of GovTech companies. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting the other motivated and agile local government leaders in their larger community.
NEIL SATRA \ SOCIETAL
The government leaders you meet at this conference are self-selected innovators and early adopters. We walked away with a couple of mutual referral partnerships with other startups, and knowledge about a new way to speed up procurement. Perhaps most importantly, l made friends with other founders who understand the unique challenges and opportunities in the GovTech community.
PETER BOZIAN \ EDISON PARTNERS
State of GovTech is a unique chance to meet innovative govtech businesses alongside their current and potential customers and partners to get a complete view of how emerging products fit into the market and the pain points they solve.
ANESHAI SMITH \ GO SEE THE CITY
I was able to develop relationships with several cities, discover various resources for my company, and explore ways I can partner with other companies there. I now look forward to attending each year.
