About us
We win when our customers win
Civic IQ finds the state, local and education agencies that are about to buy what you sell, months before the RFP is published. Data on its own doesn't close contracts, so we work alongside every customer. We learn your business, stay close to your team and keep going until the pipeline is real.
Free plan · No credit card required
- A dedicated CSM and solutions engineer
- No usage credits to buy or track

How we work
How we partner with our customers
Most software companies hand you a login and a help center. We would rather sit on your side of the table and solve the problem with you.
We start with your problem
Before we switch anything on, we learn what you sell, who buys it and where your pipeline gets stuck. Then we set up your territories, signals and alerts around those answers instead of a generic keyword list.
Your results are our scorecard
We judge ourselves by the meetings you book, the pipeline you build and the contracts you win. Those are the numbers we review with you at every check-in.
We tell you the truth
If something isn't working, we say so and fix it. Every signal links back to its source document, and your feedback goes straight to the people building the product.
End-to-end go-to-market for SLED
We built the data and the tools to act on it
Most B2G teams stitch together an intelligence tool, a spend database, a contact database, a dialer, a sequencer and an RFP writer. Civic IQ puts the data and the actions in one place, so your team can go from signal to meeting without switching tools. You can also let matching signals run through those actions on autopilot.
1 · The data foundation
Know who is buying and who to call
Pre-RFP signals
See which agencies are planning to buy what you sell, months before a solicitation.
Key contacts for every signal
Each signal comes with the decision-makers behind the project.
Contact lists for marketing
Build lists of agencies and contacts for campaigns at any scale.
Open RFPs and bids
Track live solicitations that match your products and territory.
Built from the public record
- Agency budgets
- Meeting minutes
- Meeting videos
- State legislative bills
- Federal grants
- Purchase orders
- Past spending data
2 · The actions
Act on every signal without leaving the platform
RFP response automation
Draft RFP responses with AI instead of starting from a blank page.
Email sequences
Send outreach written around each signal from your own inbox.
Power dialer
Call the right contacts straight from the platform.
Events and lead capture
Capture leads at conferences and follow up the same week.
Direct mail
Add a physical touch to your outreach when email isn't enough.
CRM and AI sync
Push records to HubSpot or Salesforce, or work your signals from Claude and ChatGPT.
You can also put signals and RFPs on autopilot
You set up the rules once. After that, every new signal or RFP that matches what you sell runs through your actions automatically, so nobody has to copy leads between tools.
- Enroll contacts in a sequence
- Add to a direct mail campaign
- Sync to your CRM
- Alert the team in Slack
- Create a task for a rep
What it replaces
Your team gets one platform and one login instead of a stack of separate tools.

“Everything built into this platform replaces at least three go-to-market systems off the top of my head: the power dialer, our contact data provider, and our public sector intelligence tool. It's incredible.”

Customer Solutions Engineer
Makes the platform fit how you work
Your solutions engineer handles the technical side, so your team spends its time selling instead of configuring.
- Tunes signals, keywords and scoring to your products
- Connects Civic IQ to your CRM, like HubSpot or Salesforce
- Sets up AI workflows through our MCP server and API
- Scopes custom data and research requests
Between them, they make sure Civic IQ turns into results for your team. When something needs fixing, you always know exactly who to call.
Simple pricing
We don't meter your usage with credits
A lot of data platforms sell credits, and every search draws down a balance. Teams end up rationing the tool they paid for. We think the more your team uses Civic IQ, the more value it gets, so your bill should not go up when usage does.
Credit-based platforms
Civic IQ
The free plan includes three signals a month in one state and does not need a credit card.

Why we started Civic IQ
There are more than 100,000+ government agencies in the United States, from cities and counties to school districts, transit authorities and utilities. Together they spend more than $3 trillion a year. Yet for the companies selling to them, knowing who is about to buy is nearly impossible. The signals are buried in meeting minutes, budgets and capital plans that no sales team has time to read, and by the time an RFP drops, the specs are often already written.
Our founder, Abbas Khan, spent years building data products at S&P Global, Cherre and Chronograph, turning scattered, unstructured data into decisions. In 2024 he founded Civic IQ to do the same for the public sector: read everything governments publish, connect the dots, and show sales teams who is buying, what they need and when to reach out.
We are headquartered in Hoboken, New Jersey, with teammates around the world. We have built the company around a simple idea, which is that we only succeed when our customers do.
“We give you the map to every government buyer in America and show you exactly where to start.”

Our values
The two values we hold ourselves to
They shape how we build the product and how we show up for every customer.
Speed
Timing wins government deals, so we move fast.
The vendor who shows up first with the right intelligence usually shapes the deal. That is why we build for speed in everything we do. You can work signals on day one, they reach you months before the RFP, and you never wait long for an answer from us.
- We respond to your questions in minutes
- We ship your feature requests in days
- You are ready on day one, with no setup project or training
- Most customers book a meeting from a signal in their first week
Go the extra mile
We do more than the contract says.
If something will help you win, we will do it. That might mean tuning signals until they fit what you sell, tracking down a document that isn't online yet, or building the list you need before a conference. We would rather over-deliver than explain why something isn't our job.
- Every account has a dedicated CSM and solutions engineer
- We file up to five public-records requests a month for you on paid plans
- Your feedback shapes what we build next
