May be with parents to see too many old plot, the word "government" often reminds me to be full of paper documents, not electronic office. I do not know if the United States is the same, but as I said before, the government has a lot of public data, but few people can use them well, even if the data is open, the problem of asymmetric information still exists.

And the platform that can make government information more public opengov tries to solve such information asymmetry, let everyone through the platform to the government's past spending situation at a glance, know where the tax has been run, and these data will be in a more simple, visual way to display the dynamic, user-friendly (public, Unit staff) to better judge and understand the government. Although the data is open, there is still a great cost of communication in this area. It recently received a 15 million dollar round of funding for the a16z, which it had received 7 million dollars in a round of financing.

So far opengov has 100 governments, special institutions and schools and other institutions to become their clients, for these organizations, the public information on the opengov to launch is not difficult, because they only need to export the previous data to Opengov, All that remains to be done is to wait quietly for a week. Then there are more data reports as long as they are sent on a regular basis.

It's not just the opengov who used the government to do business, YC hatched before the buildzoom is to use the government data, to help users find excellent decoration team, the company will be the United States 2.5 million of the certification contractor data, and users can do a classified search based on this database, to see their own home near the decoration team can be invited.

The benefits of what opengov is doing to the government and the public are obvious, and this entry point is interesting enough to explain how much we have done before in data and information. Simply exposing the data is not enough to make the data better integrated and visualized, is the real data disclosure. E-government has shouted for so long, transparency of data, the goal for many cities is still very far. Opengov therefore boasts 9 to 100,000 potential customers.
