Apaluma Raises $5.55 Million in Seed Funding to Expand Government Data Platform

Apaluma has raised 5.55 million dollars in seed funding to expand its unified platform for government data, announced in a press release. The round was led by Crosslink Capital and Kickstart, and co-led by Haven Ventures and Overwater Ventures, with participation from Orange DAO and NM Vintage Fund.

The Albuquerque-based company connects fragmented public records such as permits, regulations, and environmental data into a single searchable and secure system. The platform provides structured access to information that often resides in PDFs, scanned documents, and disconnected databases.

Apaluma’s system allows each agency to manage its records under its own rules, while enabling analysts, scientists, and regulators to retrieve information more quickly. The platform supports processes including permitting, Freedom of Information Act requests, and compliance tracking through a unified interface designed for the full regulatory life cycle.
