Kaleil Isaza Tuzman et Tom Herman ont un rêve depuis qu'ils sont devenus amis à l'âge de quinze ans : s'enrichir en développant leur propre société dot com, dans un aspect de l'interface informatique. Aujourd'hui, à la fin de la vingtaine, ils ont eu l'idée qu'ils pensaient faire leur fortune, à savoir, comme Tom l'appelle, des " contraventions de stationnement " : l'entreprise sera l'interface en ligne de perception des recettes pour les administrations municipales. GovWorks.com a vu le jour en mai 1999 avec seulement une idée. Le processus de construction de l'entreprise se concentre sur l'obtention de capital-risque basé uniquement sur l'idée, avec la mécanique réelle du site Web apparemment presque une pensée après coup.
