Bill Gurley and Jack Altman back startup Pursuit, which helps companies sell to government

Pursuit, founded in 2023 by Mike Vichich and Brandon Max, raised a $22 million seed round led by OpenGov co-founder Mike Rosengarten.

The round brings Pursuit’s total funding to $25.5 million, with backing from investors including Jack Altman, Bill Gurley, and Sam Hinkie.

Its software scans public records across thousands of state and local agencies to surface likely contract opportunities.

The goal is to make fragmented government procurement data easier to search and help more companies win public-sector business.
