Our Story

We map every government buyer
so you don't have to

50,000+ agencies. Millions of decision-makers. Trillions in spending. We track it all so you know who's buying, what they need, and when to reach out.

The Problem

You can't sell to buyers you can't find

There are over 50,000+ government agencies in the United States: cities, counties, school districts, transit authorities, utilities, and more. Together, they spend $3+ trillion every year. But just knowing who all these buyers are is nearly impossible.

And even if you could list every agency, how do you know which ones are actually looking to buy? Buying signals are buried in meeting minutes, budget documents, and planning records that no sales team has time to read. By the time an RFP drops, you're already too late. Relationships have been built and specs have been written.

The Insight

Buying signals hide in plain sight

Our founder, Abbas Khan, spent years building data products that transformed decision-making in finance at Cherre, Chronograph, and S&P Global. The pattern was always the same: valuable insights buried in scattered, unstructured data that nobody had time to process.

When he looked at the public sector, he saw the same opportunity, but bigger. Governments publish everything: meeting agendas, budget approvals, capital plans, vendor registrations. The buying signals are there, months before procurement begins. Someone just needed to read it all, connect the dots, and surface what matters.

The Solution

A complete map of government buyers

In 2024, we founded Civic IQ to solve this problem. Our platform maps every government buyer in America: who they are, what they've purchased, who makes the decisions, and most importantly, what they're planning to buy next.

We continuously monitor government activity, extract buying signals from millions of documents, and connect you directly to decision-makers, months before procurement starts. No more cold outreach to the wrong person. No more missing opportunities you never knew existed.

Just clear intelligence on who's buying, what they need, and when to reach out.

“We give you the map to every government buyer in America and show you exactly where to start.”

What We Believe

Our Values

Three principles that guide every decision we make

01

Your Pipeline Is Our Product

We measure ourselves by your closed deals, not our feature count. Every signal we surface, every contact we verify, every alert we send exists for one reason: to fill your pipeline with real opportunities.

02

Speed Wins Deals

In public sector sales, timing is everything. We ship fast, iterate constantly, and treat urgency as a core discipline—because the vendor who shows up first with the right intelligence wins the contract.

03

No Black Boxes

We show you exactly where our data comes from and what it means. No inflated numbers, no vague sourcing. Trust is built on accuracy and honesty, not marketing.
