description: Govlist, Inc. (which operated as ProcureNow) was a San Francisco-based govtech startup
  providing a multi-tenant SaaS platform for government procurement and contract management. Its
  Government Procurement Automation Cloud helped local and state agencies build, source, and evaluate
  RFPs and bids, and helped suppliers read, understand, and respond to complex public solicitations.
  The company, backed by 500 Global and Civstart, was acquired by OpenGov in 2021 (announced June 2021),
  where the product now lives as OpenGov Procurement. Govlist has no independent developer surface, API,
  or portal; its original domain (thegovlist.com) no longer resolves. This profile is preserved as a
  historical lead surfaced from the 500 Global portfolio.
