FYI the https link goes to a pure html website for some reason, I would recommend following their http link.

Seneca seems like quite a cool company I like the Roman references. I would be curious what kind of opportunities do you see in a European context for government tech?

We're really excited by the opportunities in Europe and local governments across the world. A few weeks ago we got an inquiry from Ireland and we've been told multiple times that governments in India would also be great candidates.

The problems are similar. Many local governments try to shoehorn tools from the private sector — Excel, SalesForce, Post-Its — into their operations. These "work" but are far from the right tool for the job and put the onus of ensuring compliance on the office.

That is further compounded by the relative lack of European based startups. Data has to be held within the country. Some laws are vague or have loopholes, but we firmly believe that constituent information should not be subject to other states' snooping. That means recreating tools specifically for European regulations and cloning the infrastructure per country. Not impossible, we're just not there yet.

P.S.

The Roman references are just the tip of the iceberg. Both founders are philosophers so our values (http://seneca.systems/values) are the heart of the company.
