With Raises $10M Seed Funding
Summary
The funding will expand Withs reach in North America and further develop its AI capabilities to support local leaders in creating simple and vibrant community-building initiatives. Participants in the funding round include Boaz Amiti, Tal Ventures, Iron Nation, Unicorn Technologies, Ariel Maislos, and Yuval Bar Gil, alongside leading gov-tech industry entrepreneurs Zac Bookman, co-founder and CEO at OpenGov and Eyal Feder, co-founder and CEO at Zencity.Despite spending millions of dollars annually on community engagement, most local governments do not know their communities preferences, interests, or demands. By bringing city and county payments, registrations, and communications to one synchronous platform, municipal staff and trusted partners across departments can create events, publish them, and immediately open a ticketing system.Withs AI capabilities and PRM Platform can also proactively suggest events based on resident demand and interest, helping municipal leaders gauge initiative impacts and ROI. This system enables With to help governmenommunity engagement from start to finish while overseeing all economic and community aspects.Instead of navigating endless social media pages, residents can simply sign up for one event to receive direct, personalized notifications for future programs, ensuring that these initiatives do not go to waste. The absence of a centralized community calendar creates overlapping events for the same audience, leading to wasted resources and efforts by local stakeholders, says Kelly Corsette, Communications and Public Affairs Director, City of Scottsdale, Arizona.Cities spend millions on programs for their residents but struggle to optimize the benefits, says Ron Ostroff, Founder and Managing Partner at Tal Ventures.
