Information on the Target

GovWell, co-founded by Troy LeCaire and Ben Cohen in 2023, aims to transform government service delivery through modern technology. The company provides a cloud-native, multi-tenant, no-code solution designed to automate essential workflows for local government agencies, including Building and Planning, Fire, Public Works, Health, and Parks and Recreation departments. Their platform is adaptable, allowing customization through no-code tools to accommodate the varied processes of different government entities.
