Polimorphic – a leading provider of AI-enabled “GovGPT” software for local government operations – recently announced it closed on $5.6 million in seed funding. M13 led this funding round with the participation of existing investors Shine Capital and Pear VC.
Polimorphic’s Constituent Relationship Management (CRM) software replaces physical file-based workflows with digital ones. And the platform also offers AI-enabled “GovGPT” software – which replaces physical file-based workflows for local governments to automate processes, log records, and communicate with constituents all in one place.
By digitizing and automating routine paperwork and facilitating public access to dense materials, government staff could significantly reduce the time spent on monotonous busywork, liberating their resources to focus on other critical aspects of their responsibilities. And Polimorphic’s funding round comes on the heels of several pieces of AI legislation circulating the Capitol this session, signaling the government’s readiness to embrace AI technology.
Intashan Chowdhury (borough administrator of Prospect Park, New Jersey, a Polimorphic client) estimated that 70% of staff time was spent managing paper-based processes and manual workflows before implementing Polimorphic.
Polimorphic is actively collaborating with municipalities, city departments, and counties across the United States, serving populations ranging from 1,000 to 100,000 constituents. Along with Prospect Park, notable clients include Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Gaston County, North Carolina, where the technology has been successfully deployed to enhance civic engagement and streamline government operations.
