Hannah Proulx

Over the past 8 years, we quietly bootstrapped TubeScience into the largest producer of social media ads in the USA. While our public profile is minimal (ironically, we don’t do any self-marketing), we have hundreds of employees, billions of dollars in ad spend, and deep technical partnerships with Meta and other platforms.&nbsp;What helped us do so is an obsession for numbers over opinions, and a unique “pay for performance” business model. Clients only pay if our ads outperform anything they or any other agency delivers. It’s a very “honest” business model, and clients tend to love it (resulting in extremely high retention and all our sales to date coming from inbound / word of mouth).&nbsp;As we look towards the future and AI advances, we see an incredible opportunity to reinvent our business. We plan to take everything we’ve learned, and turn it into a true self-service SaaS offering that can power agencies and in-house teams alike.&nbsp;

We the people (and the taxpayers) deserve effective government. But the software powering government services is 20 years behind the private sector. GovWell’s mission is to build modern software products to help government serve communities better. After launching April 2023, we raised $1 million in pre-seed funding and today more than 200,000 citizens in 7 states rely on GovWell products to access essential government services.We're helping 80,000+ local governments serve their communities better with modern software. From making it easier to start businesses to increasing the supply of affordable housing, we're honored to make our customers better at developing vibrant and safe communities.

GovWell

Technical challenges GovWell is solving:

- Building a workflow management system that is powerful and easy to use, but flexible enough to accommodate the unique processes of 80,000+ government agencies in the United States (think: Salesforce for governments). Today, GovWell is used to process permit and license applications for everything from new affordable housing developments to small business licenses.

- Enabling a Figma-style document review experience that helps governments easily collaborate to review, mark up, and approve technical documents such as building and development plans.

- Developing a flexible and powerful document generation system to automatically generate official documents including permits and licenses for thousands of unique processes (think: Canva for documents).

- Creating a payments experience that makes it easy for citizens to pay billions in annual permit/license fees, property taxes, and utility bills online.

📜 Founding Story
Our mission is deeply personal for us. Ben Cohen, Co-founder and CTO grew up helping his father — a general contractor — to apply for hundreds of construction permits. Ben’s experiences navigating clunky, outdated government websites inspired him to build better solutions for the millions of tradespeople whose livelihoods depend on getting permits fast. Prior to founding GovWell, Ben worked for Uber and Amazon as a Software Engineer, and earned his AB in Computer Science summa cum laude from Princeton.

Troy LeCaire, Co-founder and CEO, was employee #1 and Chief of Staff at RippleMatch, a B2B SaaS company, helping it grow from 0 to $10M in annual revenue and a $200M valuation. Before RippleMatch, he worked for two senators from his home state of Wisconsin. He believes passionately in the potential for technology to help government work more effectively for citizens everywhere. Troy earned his BA in Government magna cum laude from Cornell.
