The Brazilian startup Colab secured an undisclosed investment from the GovTech Fund, managed by KPTL and Cedro Capital.
Colab helps connect citizens and government, allowing users to report local issues like potholes or broken street lamps, propose urban enhancements, and rate public services.
With the funds, Colab plans to develop its service platform, expand its reach, and enhance its technological services.
“In 10 years, we have learned from thousands of public managers and the largest and best technology government forums worldwide, understanding their greatest challenges and how technology can support them.

Colab has impacted over 20 million people in Brazil, and today has more than 1 million users and over 10,000 daily public servant users.
