Govtech Fund is so proud to have been one of @BintiFamily earliest investors. We agree: Anthropic CEO, Dario Amodei "Seeing Binti help connect children with loving families faster by cutting through months of paperwork is exactly the real-world impact we hoped to enable.” Yes!!!
Thrilled to see @BintiFamily featured in @Forbes today alongside Anthropic on using AI to save social worker time across government social services, so they can spend less time on paperwork and more time with children and families <3

Our portfolio company @BintiFamily is hiring aggressively. A fantastic company and a must for anyone that wants to reinvent child welfare: binti.com/careers/
In just the past 120 days, 5 @GovtechFund portfolio companies have signed term sheets for follow-on financings totaling $350M+ (ranging from $30M to $150M).
It makes us smile to reflect on all the convos over the years with folks so adamant that govtech wasn’t venture backable.
Just wrapping up Q2 Board Reporting "season". The @GovtechFund had its busiest quarter ever with four new investments (historical pace is one investment per qtr), and three portfolio companies raising financing rounds at $200M, $500M and $1.5B valuations. Impact off the chart.
