Polco is a mid-sized government technology company based in Madison, Wisconsin, offering a civic engagement and data platform for public-sector leaders. Founded in 2015 by military veterans Alex Pedersen and Nick Mastronardi, the platform enables governments to hear from residents, leverage AI-driven insights, and make more transparent, privacy-conscious decisions. It supports engagement through surveys, polls, budget simulations, and live events, complemented by benchmarked measures of community performance and analytics dashboards. Polco positions itself in the government administration and civic tech space, backed by science through a long-running partnership with the National Research Center since 2019. Its solutions are designed to scale for large cities, small towns, school districts, and state agencies, addressing budgets, aging populations, policing, economic growth, housing, and more, while emphasizing privacy and broad participation. A notable development in 2025 was the launch of its online Budget Simulator.
