Today we're joined by Brendan and Cherie, founders of HollyGov—an AI startup that just closed a $2.2M pre-seed round to solve one of government's most critical problems: over 1 million vacant jobs crippling communities nationwide.
​
This isn't just another HR tool. Government hiring is broken—think blacksmith job postings and 25,000 applications flooding new administrations like Zohran Mamdani's, where hires might not happen until 2027. HollyGov uses AI to fix job design, salary benchmarking, and bureaucratic bottlenecks, turning unstructured data mountains into one-click insights that save workers hundreds of hours.

Why watch? If you're an engineer, designer, or PM who wants mission-driven work with massive impact—serving 24M public sector workers and $3T in payroll—this is your signal. HollyGov grew ARR 53x in 6 months, landed Bay Area counties like Santa Clara, and offers sticky 3-5 year contracts in a first-mover GovTech position.
​
They're aggressively hiring Senior Software Engineers (backend/AI/LLM focus) to build agentic modules and scale their class/comp platform into a full AI-native HRIS. Mission: empower civil servants, rebuild trust in government, and make public service desirable again.
