| Pavilion | CoProcure aims to solve the information gap in public purchasing. Local U.S. governments spend $1.5T / year (7% of U.S. GDP) buying goods and services. Government buyers must purchase from contracts created through formal competitive bidding, a 4-24 month-long process. As an alternative to creating a new contract, buyers may purchase fromcontracts that other governments have created. Today, about 20% of government purchasing flows through shareable contracts, which government buyers discover via phone calls and emails to colleagues. CoProcure’s marketplace of competitively bid contracts can be reused by government buyers, saving government employees time, taxpayers money, and reducing the cost of selling to governments for suppliers. CoProcure does not sell to governments, so we avoid going through procurement ourselves. | $22M | Series A | Mar 03, 2022 |  |
