Civera provides technology to build a better democracy by making civic information more available to everyday people, and to improve government operations, transparency, and accountability.

Access to government data is a human right. We believe government should provide a civic intelligence dashboard to allow all citizens a window into government data on a 24/7, real-time basis. We wish to replace the outmoded paradigm of transactional public records requests with always-on, live-updating databases of public information everywhere.

Justice Louis Brandeis wrote, “Sunlight is the best disinfectant.” Generous public access to government information provides an important oversight role that incentivizes accountability, and an unyielding demand for excellence throughout our public institutions.
