AI-powered security cert renewals for bootstrapped govtech founders
Remote govtech founders endure endless compliance audits and security certifications that destroy bootstrapped momentum, compounded by coordinating distributed teams across timezones.
GovCertify uses AI to scan your docs, predict cert expirations, and auto-generate renewal checklists for SOC2, ISO, etc. It coordinates submissions across remote teams with timezone-sync'd workflows. Founders skip manual hunts, staying audit-ready without enterprise costs.
