Department of Better Technology

Department of Better Technology makes great software that helps governments and non-profits better serve their communities. Put simply, it is about running projects, docs and workflows in one shared workspace.

Who is it for? Mostly teams that want fewer tools. Related areas on their profile: GovTech and Open Source. They are a very small team, 1 to 10 people, which usually shapes who they work with. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

Department of Better Technology is based in Oakland, California. More on dobt.co.

Before you commit, look at automation limits, permissions, and per-seat cost at scale. A short pilot with your real data tells you more than any demo.
