Gravity, a leading platform for public sector financial reporting, has acquired coUrbanize, a GovTech 100 company specializing in community engagement. This strategic move enhances Gravity’s ability to help governments meet 2026 ADA mandates while fostering transparent communication with communities.
Gravity’s acquisition of coUrbanize creates a comprehensive platform that integrates financial reporting, budgeting, compliance, and community engagement. coUrbanize, recognized as a GovTech 100 company, brings advanced tools like built-in translation, ADA compliance, and multi-channel feedback mechanisms, including comments, texts, emails, and live polling. This unified solution enables governments to streamline operations while meeting the 2026 ADA mandates for digital accessibility.
With new ADA mandates set to take effect in 2026, Gravity’s enhanced platform transforms financial data into ADA-compliant transparency portals. These portals allow finance teams to publish Annual Comprehensive Financial Reports (ACFRs), Popular Annual Financial Reports (PAFRs), and Budget Books in formats accessible to all users, aligning with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards. This ensures governments can meet regulatory requirements while enhancing public access to critical information.
coUrbanize’s AI-powered reporting distills community sentiment into actionable insights, directly linking public input to budgeting and planning. This capability empowers governments to make data-driven decisions that reflect community needs. As Tyler Davey, CEO of Gravity, stated, “coUrbanize’s platform equips our customers with the tools they need to stay ahead of changing compliance requirements while leading with transparency and accessibility.”
The acquisition bolsters Gravity’s mission to foster transparency. coUrbanize’s tools, including accessible project websites and multilingual feedback channels, engage historically underserved communities. Karin Brandt, Founder of coUrbanize and now GM of Community Engagement at Gravity, noted, “We’ve seen how inclusive engagement brings forward voices that might otherwise go unheard.” This approach strengthens public trust and supports over 650 teams in scaling outreach.
Gravity’s enhanced platform now offers plug-and-play engagement tools, seamless integration of budgets and public input, and AI-generated reports, positioning it as a leader in connected financial management. With over 240 customers across 40 states, Gravity is well-equipped to help governments navigate compliance challenges and build stronger community connections.
coUrbanize helps governments and project teams engage more residents, especially those historically excluded from public processes, through accessible project websites, multilingual tools, text-based feedback, and moderated forums. Its AI-powered reports turn community input into actionable insights, enabling over 650 teams to scale outreach, build trust, and earn support for their initiatives.
