Civic Eagle, LLC

Civic Eagle, LLC operates as a software company developing solutions for managing legislative intelligence and collaboration data. Founded in 2015 by Damola Ogundipe, Yemi Adewunmi, and Shawntera Hardy, the company initially launched with a business-to-consumer mobile app aimed at helping people understand politics. This venture was inspired by CEO Damola Ogundipe's personal experiences, including his challenges navigating the U.S. legal system as an immigrant from Nigeria and understanding complex legislation like the Affordable Care Act. His co-founder, Yemi Adewunmi, brought a background in policy analysis from her time with the New York State Assembly. After the initial app saw limited user adoption, the company pivoted in 2018 to a business-to-business model, targeting policy professionals.

The company's core offering is Enview, a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that provides legislative tracking and policy management tools. Enview allows users to discover, track, and analyze legislation at the federal and state levels. The platform uses artificial intelligence and natural language processing to automate the process of monitoring bills, providing notifications on updates, and enabling collaborative analysis among teams. Key features include searching and filtering legislation by keywords or status, smart recommendations for relevant bills, and tools for annotation and version comparison. The business model is based on subscriptions to this platform, serving a market that includes corporations, lobbying firms, advocacy groups, and government relations teams. Notable clients include Comcast, Google, and Common Cause.

Civic Eagle has successfully raised capital to fund its growth, securing $10 million in a Series A round in May 2022, which brought its total fundraising to over $14 million. This funding was intended to expand sales, marketing, and product development. A significant milestone in its development was the 2021 acquisition of Open States, a project dedicated to providing open legislative data, which reinforced the company's data infrastructure. The company operates with a fully remote workforce.
