Kory Fortman

My government journey began serving my local village. Witnessing dedicated public servants fueled my desire to bridge the tech gap. After exceeding sales quotas in car sales (both as IC and Director), I transitioned to GovTech.

At GovQA (acquired by Granicus), I wasn't just selling - I co-founded a program mentoring new hires on government operations and procurement. My passion extends beyond my day-to-day job, with consulting work for a Chicago non-profit and an e-discovery startup.

CivStart's mission to empower civic-minded GovTech founders resonates deeply. My experience aligns perfectly, and I'm eager to join your GovTech Champions program!
