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 was producing software that assisted government clients in tracking contracts and overseeing purchasing functions. However, 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 its services. The Economist's survey found that people preferred online payments of government-owed fees due to the convenience. Nevertheless, govWorks was unable to overcome many of the challenges that startups usually face, resulting in CNET ranking it as one of the top ten dot-com failures of the time.

In January 2018, the govWorks website was re-launched under new ownership. The current iteration of govWorks is related to its predecessor in name only, while it expedites passports and travel visas.
