GovWorks

govWorks Inc. was a dot-com company founded in 1998 by Kaleil Isaza Tuzman, Tom Herman, and Chieh Cheung. It went bankrupt when the dot-com bubble burst in 2000. The company's history is documented in the 2001 documentary Startup.com. Originally known as Public Data Systems, the company produced software to help government clients track contracts and oversee purchasing functions. As the Internet boom accelerated, the company transitioned toward becoming an Internet web portal.

During the company's existence, cities such as Grand Island and New York expressed interest in using its services. A survey by The Economist concluded that people preferred to pay fees owed to the government over the Internet due to its convenience. Nevertheless, govWorks was unable to overcome many of the challenges faced by start-ups, and CNET ranked it as one of the top ten dot-com failures of the time.

The govWorks website was relaunched under new ownership in January 2018. The current iteration of govWorks is related to its predecessor in name only and expedites passports and travel visas.
