Holly is an AI-enabled platform specifically designed for the unique needs of city and local governments. Our technology helps cities and counties tackle critical challenges like workforce modernization, in order to build resilient teams. Our platform is live across 7 states with 30+ jurisdictions representing over 2% of the US population—including major counties like Santa Clara and Contra Costa in the Bay Area, Orange County in LA, and Snohomish County in Washington State. We're getting overwhelmed by demand as cities and counties look to replace expensive consultants ($100K+ annually) and plan for a modern workforce. We're built by former public servants and civic tech operators who met and incubated the company at Harvard Innovation Labs. We've raised $2.2M from leading investors in government technology and the future of work, including J2 Ventures, Roble Ventures, Gaingels, and prominent govtech founders and operators. We center the people we serve in our decision making and strive to build an ambitious, dynamic, and high-performing environment. We care about creating an environment in which all our team members can thrive, succeed, and grow.

Our customers include Product Hunt, Notion, Tome and other venture-backed companies. We're on a high-growth trajectory and we're looking for people who want to join us on the journey to building a billion-dollar company.

Sapien is an AI quality company building Proof of Quality, or PoQ, an evaluation system for AI work, built for cases where the right answer is unknown, or a matter of judgment. We spent two years and 195 million tasks learning how hard that problem is, and PoQ is what came out: the customer defines quality through a rubric, a panel of experts scores real work, agents supply the scale, and consensus makes the measure reliable. Teams use PoQ to find where their AI work needs improving, and for confidence in the quality when it meets their standard.

What if the student moving experience could be done so well, that it becomes something families rave about. Meet Storage Scholars. Since 2017, we’ve moved thousands of happy students and hold a 4.8 star satisfaction rating. Students everywhere are telling us that we’ve solved this common storage problem, uncommonly well.
