Marketplace.city is a Chicago-based govtech company that helps state and local governments source, validate, and procure technology. Its Clearbox platform turns a repository of historical vendor, contract, and pricing data into managed procurement services (Clearbox Procure) and a research subscription (Clearbox Source), aiming to compress technology buying cycles that once ran months or years down to roughly 100 days. Founded out of a 2016 collaboration with New York City's Mayor's Office of Technology and Innovation, the company has supported over 200 governments.
TermScout is a legaltech company that turns contracts into data. It analyzes and benchmarks B2B agreements against thousands of real-world contracts, then issues an independent TrustMark certification - a public badge signaling that a contract's terms are fair, balanced, and ready to sign. The goal is simple: replace slow, adversarial negotiation with trusted, data-backed agreements that close faster. Its Certify engine scores contracts on nearly 1,000 points, and its newer TrustMark AI program certifies the AI-specific terms buried in modern software contracts.
