OpenGov Picks Up $25 Million More And Adds Marc Andreessen To The Board OpenGov announced the close of a refreshingly sized $25 million in additional financing today. The startup initiative to provide government financial data closed its Series B round of $15 million, led by Andreessen Horowitz, a year and a half ago. A16z, along with previous investors Formation8, Thrive Capital and AITV, has now padded OpenGov with another shot of financing to help scale the sales side of the business. The new round pulled in some new and noteworthy investors, too. Also, notably, OpenGov has now added Marc Andreessen to the OpenGov board. “The company definitely has good potential as a business, but I also think it has potential to affect outcome, particularly in how government spends money, which is a central issue for government and taxpayers,” Andreessen told TechCrunch in an interview. Watching the democratic debates, these are very abstract debates about all this money getting spent. — Marc Andreessen OpenGov works on the local city and county government level for now.
Standard Setting Agencies In the May 2002 review of Data Provision to the Fund for Surveillance Purposes, the IMF Executive Board discussed the dissemination of international reserves data to the public under the SDDS. The Fourth Review of the Fund's Data Standards Initiatives was completed in July 2001. Staff monitoring of observance of the data dimension and advance release calendar element of the access dimension of the Special Data Dissemination Standard (SDDS), beginning by end-June 2000, was mandated by the Executive Board. A three-year transition period (ending March 2003) for the dissemination of quarterly external debt statistics with one-quarter lag as a required category of the SDDS, was also approved. The Board endorsed the Data Quality Assessment Framework and integration into ROSCs in July 2001.
