GroundVue Launches AI Platform to Analyze Public Meeting Data for Policymakers

GroundVue, a new AI company founded by three former government technology leaders, has launched a platform designed to transform hours of recorded public meetings into structured, actionable policy data. The company uses what it calls "social science-fueled AI" to analyze local government proceedings across the U.S., identifying connections and trends that can inform better policy solutions at county, city, and state levels. Founded by CEO Shannon Arvizu (former White House advisor), CTO Ann Lewis (former GSA TTS director), and CAIO Travis Hoppe (outgoing acting CAIO at CDC), the company plans to launch in Virginia, California, and Minnesota within three months, with national rollout expected later this year.

The platform emerged from Arvizu's work measuring county-level impacts of federal Medicaid cuts, where she discovered a critical data gap in local policy monitoring. GroundVue is structured as a public benefit corporation with a 501(c)(3) nonprofit arm, ensuring its mission to "inform policies that lead to greater household economic security" is legally embedded. The company will restrict sales to organizations aligned with this mission and is funded solely by impact investors and philanthropic institutions. Within two years, GroundVue aims to add full historical data to create a sustainable, scalable source for local policy intelligence that governments previously had to gather through manual, time-intensive methods.
