 Indigov, the leading constituent service platform for public officials, today announced it had closed $25 million in Series B financing with participation from Tusk Venture Partners, 8VC, Wicklow Capital, Align Ventures and Valor Equity Partners. This brings the company’s total funding to more than $38.3 million to date.

Launched in 2019, Indigov is a multi-channel constituent experience management platform that allows public officials to organize, respond to and proactively engage those they serve. The platform gives officials robust reporting and analytics so they gain real time insight into the pulse of their constituency. Federal, state, and local governments also use Indigov to manage casework and triage incoming communications that would otherwise overwhelm their inboxes. Indigov currently supports thousands of Congressional, state and local officials who collectively represent more than 150 million Americans.
