Velosimo Looks to Transform Government Integrations with $11M In New Funding

While the various technologies and systems at play in most organizations make things easier, they can also be quite overwhelming. That is especially so when those systems need to be connected seamlessly to get things done in an efficient manner and keep things running smoothly. Velosimo looks to solve the problem for government agencies with its integration platform as a service (IPaaS) solution, which helps connect various systems reliably and quickly. Check out the following press release for more on Velosimo and its plans for this round of funding.

Velosimo, the next generation of government technology integration that enables government agencies to meet citizens’ expectations of modern and uninterrupted digital services, announced it has secured an $11 million Series A investment led by Macquarie Capital Principal Finance, with participation from Valor Equity Partners. This funding will enable the company to accelerate sales and expand its best-in-class integration platform. Funding comes on the heels of the company’s remarkable growth since launching in 2018.

“At Velosimo, we believe our online experiences with government agencies should be as easy as with retail providers,” said Kris Trujillo, Founder and CEO of Velosimo. “Broken integration between government software platforms has hindered agencies in providing this level of online customer experience. Velosimo solves this challenge for agencies. We are thrilled to have reached this milestone. Partnering with Macquarie Capital and Valor will allow us to quickly scale our sales and product teams to meet the increasing demand for our platform.”

Velosimo’s vision is to transform our virtual engagements with government by revolutionizing systems integration. Traditional system integrations are unworkable and too complex for most agencies. Seeing this need, Kris Trujillo founded Velosimo and launched the industry’s first integration platform for government. Unlike other integration platforms, Velosimo targets government and has a team of industry veterans and a groundbreaking platform with self-healing transactions and no-code connectors uniquely built for government. These differentiators have led to over 70 state and local government customers, including San Diego, CA, El Paso, TX, Washington DC, and the State of California, and strategic partnerships with leading government software companies such as Accela, Cityworks, Cartegraph, and Laserfiche.

“We are excited to partner with Velosimo, as they build the preeminent IPaaS solution for the government sector,” said Larry Handen, Senior Managing Director at Macquarie Capital. “Government agencies are looking for fast and efficient means of interconnecting their systems. They want these solutions to be self-managing and future-proof. Velosimo’s solution and team are uniquely positioned to deliver on this demand.”

Before this raise, early angel investors included industry leaders Maury Blackman, former CEO of Accela and current CEO of Premise Data; Daniel Kim, former Accela board member and investor, and current partner at HKW; and Stephen Davis, managing partner at Banneker Partners.

Macquarie Capital Principal Finance’s investment in Velosimo represents its sixth investment in government technology companies since the beginning of 2019.
