⚙️ Introducing dependbuild! This AI-driven SaaS platform (and 2024 Accelerator cohort member) empowers municipalities to manage and mitigate infrastructure project risks effectively, ensuring timely and cost-effective outcomes. Building resilient cities!

What a day at Growth Factory Venture Summit! Learning so much from so many great minds in the govtech space. There is a lot more to do to keep growing dependbuild and I couldn’t be more excited to take on this challenge. #govtech #gfx #venturesummit #startup #risk #infrastructure

When I talk about how we’re “building capacity”, I often get a lot of weird looks. “Capacity” isn’t a clear problem statement, but it’s a really important metric. It’s one of those things that you take for granted… until you don’t have it. I was super pleased to come across this Rural Capacity Map by Headwaters Economics that looked at communities’ capacity for implementing climate resilience through several lenses. Why is capacity needed? “…to apply for funding, fulfill complex reporting requirements, and design, build, and maintain infrastructure projects over the long term.” I’m excited to be able to put numbers (for the U.S. at least) to our mission statement now, and those are: 15,709 Communities; 17,609 County Subdivisions; 1,571 Counties and 623 Tribes. Lots of work ahead of us, but I know @dependbuild can do it. If you have any thoughts on how we could leverage our platform to boost resiliency efforts, please do reach out! #climateresilience

TL;DR New Brunswick municipalities are facing a significant funding gap of $200 million, with an infrastructure deficit of $2.5 billion. Growing up in NB, this report by the Union of the Municipalities of New Brunswick | Union des Municipalités du Nouveau-Brunswick really hits home for me. Over the past few years, I've spoken to countless municipal leaders, including some in NB. What did I learn from this? Many available solutions aren't being fully utilized. Compared to other regions I've spent time in, #NB is noticeably behind in adopting technologies that can empower staff and build organizational capacity. And it's no fault of their own— staff are overwhelmed and overburdened. Government software is notorious for being hard to use, burdensome, and *in our opinion* “ugly”. That’s not so much the case anymore- consumer expectations from B2C and B2B are forcing B2G companies to deliver the same value... at least the innovative ones. That means lower adoption barriers like software training/ upskilling requirements. By focusing on digital adoption (whether it’s with our platform dependbuild or other leading companies in the govtech space), municipalities can achieve much needed efficiencies and long-term cost savings. There are certainly other factors at play, like the report discusses, but there's a reason digital adoption has gained so much momentum in the private sector—it delivers results. It's time for the public sector to embrace these tools as well. Would love to hear what others think! #UMNB #NewBrunswick #DigitalAdoption #MunicipalInnovation #Infrastructure
