By Amit Chowdhry • Feb 11, 2025

SimpliGov, a leading no-code workflow automation platform for government organizations, announced a strategic growth investment from JMI Equity, a growth equity firm focused on investing in leading software companies.

SimpliGov is trusted by US government agencies, helping them streamline critical processes, improve citizen engagement, and enhance operational efficiency. And over the past year, the company has significantly expanded its customer base, onboarding numerous state and local government agencies as they modernize their operations to meet growing demands for transparency and efficiency.

The funding will accelerate SimpliGov’s platform development, enabling it to expand into new government use cases beyond its current leadership in workflows like licensing, permitting, and public record management. And it will also support the company’s growth through increased investment in customer success, technical support, and enhanced sales and marketing efforts.

As part of the funding, Brian Hersman and Chase Thomet, both partners at JMI Equity, have joined SimpliGov’s Board of Directors.
