NationGraph, cofounded by Kimia Hamidi and Eden Ding, Raises $18M in Series A Funding led by Menlo Ventures,

NationGraph, a San Francisco, CA-based AI-native intelligence platform for businesses selling to the government, raised $18m in Series A funding.

The round was led by Menlo Ventures, with participation from Perplexity’s Fund, XYZ Venture Capital, Reach Capital, and angel investors.

The company, which has raised total funding to $22.5m, intends to use the funds to improve the platform by adding more data types, strengthening the Signals engine, and enhancing the user experience for customers.

Founded in 2024 and led by Kimia Hamidi, CEO, and Eden Ding, CTO, NationGraph is making public sector data accessible and actionable for businesses selling to cities, counties, state agencies, schools, and special districts. Its data and intelligence engine provides buying signals derived from millions of public sector sources.

NationGraph indexes data from approximately 110,000 government entities across roughly four million websites and applies AI reasoning to enable key capabilities:

• Signals, which deliver predictive intelligence on government purchasing decisions by cross-referencing all key data sources tailored to each supplier’s products and services.
• Public Record Request Automation, which allows customers to define the data they need, and NationGraph handles the full request, extraction, and delivery process, pushing structured data directly into existing sales platforms and workflows.
• Contacts, which uses AI to identify key buyer titles across departments, validate email addresses, and map results to Signals.
