In less than a year, the company is serving more than 100 customers who are leveraging GovWorx's AI-generated evaluations and training simulations to help address the staffing, retention, and training challenges faced by ECCs today. The company also continues to roll out additional offerings, including BluAssist and MedAssist, which streamline report creation and QA for Law Enforcement and EMS agencies.
"This partnership is a major milestone for GovWorx," said Scott MacDonald, Co-Founder and CEO of GovWorx. "We've been fortunate to help so many public safety agencies early on, and partnering with Serent allows us to scale faster, build smarter, and help so many more. Alex and I were drawn to Serent's operator-first mindset, deep knowledge of the public safety landscape, and most importantly, their alignment with our long-term vision, while allowing us to maintain operational control of the company."
The partnership brings together GovWorx's mission-driven innovation and Serent's hands-on operational expertise to support continued growth. With Serent's support, GovWorx will invest in product development, expand go-to-market capabilities, and further deliver value to public safety agencies.
"We believe GovWorx is uniquely positioned to bring transformative technology to 9-1-1 centers and beyond," said Stewart Lynn, Partner at Serent Capital. "From our first conversations with Scott and Alex, it was clear that this team deeply understands the needs of 9-1-1 centers. We're thrilled to partner with them and help accelerate their roadmap to bring scalable, impactful solutions to the broader public safety community."
As part of the partnership, Serent Capital and GovWorx will work closely to expand into adjacent public safety markets, deepen product functionality, and continue to deliver the highest levels of customer satisfaction—a hallmark of the company's early success.

Can markets handle geopolitical shock? 2 big risks to consider
F/m Investments CEO and CIO Alex Morris and Yahoo Finance Senior Business Reporter Ines Ferré join Opening Bid with Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi to discuss how markets are poised to react to continued trade tensions with China and President Trump's upcoming meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Opening Bid. Clearly, the market is rocking. It's, uh, rose-colored glasses this summer, but not to rain on anyone's money-making parade. There are two near-term geopolitical risks to not overlook. One, the clock is ticking on another Trump China tariff extension, and two, the Trump Putin meeting on Friday could have a range of outcomes. So my question is this, is the market prepared to handle a geopolitical shock? Alex, what say you? I think they are. I think things are expensive now, and, you know, we'll see something happen. We're probably going to get another extension on that tariff, uh, with China. We're we're probably going to see something not terribly helpful come out of Alaska. But the market, I think is primed and ready for it. Uh, and as I appreciate what Alex said there, but I'm in the camp that this market has totally forgotten about geopolitical risks. And they're going into that, uh, Trump Putin meeting on Friday, uh, not expecting much, but maybe they should expect a lot more. Yeah, I think that, uh, one of the, there are two key points that I'm looking at when it comes to geopolitical risks. One is oil prices, which Trump wants those oil prices lower. Uh, it's the fact that in September you're gonna have the oil caps on Russian oil from the Europeans. So, uh, how is this going to impact the oil market? And is Trump going to use oil at all, or sanctions on oil at all in in some of these negotiations? The second one being for China, rare earth minerals, which are crucially important for the US and, uh, for every part of the industry of the US. So I do think that China will come through at some point, uh, like Alex said, there may be an extension because that is the big important deal.

Accelerating Data-Driven Transformation in the Hybrid Cloud Webinar
Featuring Jean-Philippe Player, Field CTO, Cloudera; Anu Mohan, Vice President, Data Strategy, Cloudera; Jaidev Karthickeyan, Sr. Director & Global Head, Value Advisory, Cloudera; and Alex Clemente, Harvard Business Review Analytic Services (HBR-AS) Many companies are trying to become more data-driven, so they can make better, faster decisions and boost their profitability. And many also want to integrate AI into all aspects of their operations and strategy. But organizations tend to prioritize data production over data consumption, putting more resources into building and managing AI data pipelines than educating employees on how to apply insights from data and AI into their decision-making and daily workstream. The goals of becoming more data-driven and incorporating AI into their business operations and strategy require some degree of data transformation.
