Government Technology

A Milestone Built on a Mission

Today, we’re beyond excited to announce a major milestone: an $18.6 million Series A round led by General Catalyst, with continued support from M13 and Shine. It’s a moment we’re incredibly proud of, but more importantly, it’s a moment built on the work of public servants across the country who are transforming how government serves people.

At Polimorphic, our mission is simple but ambitious: to make public service easier, faster, and more human. Local governments are the front line of democracy. They’re where we get permits, register to vote, pay utility bills, report issues, and ask for help. But despite the importance of their role, local governments have been chronically underinvested in, especially when it comes to technology.

Celebrating the Work of Our Partners in Government

Today, our customers, cities, counties, and agencies in states like California, Wisconsin, Florida, North Carolina, and New Jersey are leading the way in showing what’s possible when governments are equipped with the right tools.

These aren’t just software wins. They’re stories of trust rebuilt, burnout reduced, and time saved for real community impact. Our customers have cut voicemails by up to 90%, reduced walk-ins by 75%, collected over $10 million in payments online, and saved more than 55,000 hours, the equivalent to 26 years of staff time.

What’s Next for Polimorphic

This new round of funding is a springboard. With it, we’re expanding our product suite, deepening our partnerships with governments, and growing our team to keep up with demand. The biggest highlight is strengthening how our products interact. 

Imagine a world where a resident calls into an office and asks about getting a building permit. Then, the AI not only responds with how, but also allows the resident to complete an application and pay over the phone. Then, the government staffer gets a notification about the application and can easily review and approve it. Bringing it all together, our CRM shows government teams history from previous applications and shows when it’s time to renew. Thus, enabling the entire resident services process on one platform: Polimorphic.

Here’s a look at what else is ahead:

  • AI Front Desk Expansion: We’re rolling out powerful updates, including a smarter voice line and chatbot, email/SMS support, and integrated search, available in 75+ languages and all tied together by a central constituent profile.

  • GIS-Based Resident Support: We’re adding map-based services that let residents find information and request help by location, great for everything from trash pickup to emergency response.

  • Agentic AI for Application Reviews: Our new agentic AI will assist staff in reviewing permit and service applications, accelerating timelines without compromising quality.

  • Advanced Analytics: Our dashboard is becoming even more actionable, giving governments data-backed insight into constituent needs, service efficiency, and digital equity.

  • Pro Integration: So many govtech organizations are against software integrations. But we couldn't be more opposite. We’re excited to grow our integration capabilities, allowing government teams to bring data and information in one place for better insights and data-driven decision making.

And we’re just getting started. We’ll continue listening closely to our government partners, co-developing new features that solve real-world problems.

A Thank You to the Polimorphic Team
