Get startedEvery day, people in our community struggle to find the help they need.
Information is scattered.
An organization’s information is scattered across websites, PDFs, and newsletters.
Search is broken.
People do not know where to start and traditional search just provides an endless journey of links.
It’s hard to keep updated.
It’s hard for staff to keep information updated and spend time answering the same questions.

- Donors and volunteers can discover opportunities to give back.
- Organizations can reach the people they serve, faster, with less effort.

Built by people who understand coordination.
Matt and Silviu built TurboSquid in post-Katrina New Orleans into the world's largest 3D model marketplace and exited for $75M in 2021. During those years, Matt spent eight of them (2010-2018) volunteering inside New Orleans City Hall, discovering firsthand why civic technology is so broken and laying the groundwork for a solution that challenges everything.
Matt's thesis: Organizations' problem isn't technology. It's coordination. Civilized is so confident in this approach that it's giving away its AI Answer Coordinator for free.
