Arlington Capital Partners Merges Three GovTech Companies to Form Neumo, Creating Unified Cloud Platform for Government Services

Arlington Capital Partners has launched Neumo, a cloud-based platform designed to streamline government software and payments, by merging Avenu Insights & Analytics and Intellectual Technology Inc. with the newly acquired GovOS. The move combines three established GovTech companies to deliver a unified suite spanning public administration, DMV systems, revenue compliance, justice, and integrated payments. This consolidation represents a significant development in the government technology sector, addressing the growing demand for digital transformation in public services.

Neumo is led by former Avenu CEO Paul Colangelo and serves more than 4,500 public sector customers across all 50 states. The company and its backers position the formation as a modernizing thrust for government services nationwide. Colangelo emphasized the historic opportunity to modernize government and improve citizen experiences through omnichannel, integrated software. The merger builds on Arlington's strategic investments in GovTech, including the acquisition of Avenu Insights & Analytics in October 2023, a Centreville, Virginia-based provider of revenue-management and administrative software for state and local authorities.

Avenu's portfolio includes revenue discovery and recovery services to identify under-reported taxes, digital government solutions for online service portals, and financial systems for budgeting and payroll. These businesses scale with government demand for digital, auditable operations. Arlington had previously acquired Intellectual Technology in 2019, a Fort Wayne, Indiana-based DMV software and self-service hardware company offering kiosks, title and registration systems, and print-on-demand licensing solutions. The combination of Avenu and ITI culminated in Neumo's formation, with GovOS joining the platform after Audax's exit from GovOS via a 2023 spinout.

Arlington's ongoing capital plan supports scaling this vision, including its Fund VI, which closed at $3.8 billion in January 2024, representing the firm's largest fund to date. The deal cycle and capital backdrop illustrate the GovTech market's momentum, with McKinsey data from 2025 underscoring accelerating demand for cloud-native government software, cybersecurity, and scalable digital services. This trend attracts investors seeking durable, recurring revenue streams. Arlington's strategic minority investment by Goldman Sachs through the Petershill program reinforces the capital runway for Neumo while preserving management control.

Industry observers note that combining three proven GovTech platforms could accelerate cross-sell opportunities and faster product modernizations for agencies at federal, state, and local levels. The Neumo platform arrives as governments increasingly pursue digital-first agendas to improve accessibility and efficiency. Colangelo emphasized that with Neumo, governments will deliver for the people and businesses they serve at scale, while Arlington's leadership highlighted the team's track record in building scalable GovTech platforms that gain rapid adoption.
