We’re excited to introduce NationGraph, backed by public-sector investing veterans like XYZ Venture Capital, known for backing titans in the space like Anduril, Apex Space, Promise, Verkada, and Peregrine. Reach Capital which has backed transformational ed-tech companies, and enterprise expert Go Global Ventures, as well as angels who built and founded iconic companies such as Clever and OpenGov. Together, they share our commitment to our mission to transform how government data is accessed and used.

The Frustrating Reality: Searching in the Dark

Selling into local and state governments has always been tough. Contracts appear out of nowhere, RFPs are posted on obscure portals, and half the time you don’t even know which department has the final sign-off.

In the modern B2B world, AI sales tools are so good they can almost do your job for you—yet government-focused vendors still wrestle spreadsheets and with archaic portals just to see basic spend data to try and stitch together a signal that a customer is going to purchase. 

We started NationGraph to solve that exact problem. We believe no one should have to sink hours every week just to piece together how city or county officials spend public money. Instead, we want AEs, ops teams, and sales execs to see the data that matters up front—so they can focus on building real relationships, uncovering the next big opportunity, and closing deals that help both sides.

What Is NationGraph?

NationGraph is a platform that tells you the who, what, where, when and why of everything going on at any public sector entity.

Example:

  • Who purchased my competitors' product (contacts and purchase orders)
  • What are the issues that may cause them to look for a new vendor (board meeting minute transcripts)
  • When are they going to renew (automated workflows)
  • Where in the government agency are the decision makers (board meeting minute transcripts + on-demand research)
  • Why there was no RFP issued and how can I win this one (contract data and contract vehicles)

…all turned into a single source of truth.

Instead of slogging through old documents, you get:

  • Organized Purchase Order Insights
    Discover exactly which vendors a city buys from, how much they spent, and when the contract is up for renewal.
  • Meeting Minutes & Signals
    We parse those PDFs and transcripts to surface relevant triggers, like upcoming budget discussions or job changes that might open the door for new deals.
  • Procurement Rules & Thresholds
    Know where the sole-source cap starts or the number of quotes a county legally needs for a certain project. It’s all built into your NationGraph profile.
  • Unified Workflows
    Set up alerts so your team knows the instant an RFP is published or a major deal is about to expire—rather than scrambling at the eleventh hour.

Think of it like a supercharged vantage point for everything that might help you land your next big local government sale.

Here’s a sneak peek:

Delivering Real, Actionable Insights

Imagine you cover small municipalities in the Southwest. With NationGraph, you discover:

  • A city’s upcoming broadband upgrade is about to expire in six months.
  • The city just hired a new procurement officer who’s championing modernization projects.
  • Meeting minutes mention “frustrations with an outdated vendor system” in last week’s council meeting. Tagged with who mentioned it and when the meeting took place. 

Those three signals alone could shave weeks off your prospecting cycle—and open a door to a major conversation. That’s time you get back, letting you do what you do best: connecting with real stakeholders and closing deals that serve both you and the public sector.

Why Now? Public Sector Budgets Are Moving Faster Than Ever

Local and state agencies are no longer just passive recipients of federal funds—they’re increasingly where real purchasing decisions happen. If you’re only watching DC, and the news headlines you’ll miss out on the countless new contracts surfacing at the city and county level.

Here’s why that matters:

  • Federal agencies are becoming gateways, not gatekeepers.
    A massive portion of federal dollars (from DOT, FEMA, ED, etc.) flow straight through to local entities and as these agencies get shaken up these funds will still flow. This means a tremendous amount of spending power is now going to be concentrated within states and if you're not tracking board meetings, county RFPs, or municipal budgets, you’re on the outside looking in.
  • NationGraph decodes the chaos
    These shifting dynamics create enormous opportunities—but also massive complexity. Our platform constantly ingests every public record across states and localities so you don’t have to scramble. As new spending rules take effect, we highlight emerging patterns before your competitors even realize what changed.
  • Disruption opens doors
    Government processes that once felt locked down are opening up to new vendors—especially those who can handle the faster pace of decision-making. If you’re an established provider, it’s time to embrace the tools that keep you ahead. If you’re a rising player, there’s never been a better moment to break in.

In other words, legacy procurement routines are crumbling, and a new wave of purchasing power is in play. NationGraph is built to show you exactly where—and how—to capitalize on it.
