Zencity Buys Community Polling Firm Elucd

March 8 2021

In New York, civic engagement tech provider Zencity has acquired analytics and community polling company Elucd, which helps clients understand resident needs and trends in sentiment around public policies and initiatives, in real time. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Eyal Feder-LevyResidents use Elucd's survey technology to provide their opinions to local government leaders, who then incorporate community feedback and analytics into their decision-making process. The firm says it gathers real feedback from every neighborhood in a city or every corner of the population, so organizations can understand the people they serve.

Its new owner, Zencity, offers a purpose-built platform giving community feedback directly to local government execs in more than 200 cities and counties. According to Zencity, the combination of its own analysis of community input with Elucd's representative polling creates a 'radically new way' for local governments to understand and act on the feedback they're receiving from their communities.

Eyal Feder-Levy (pictured), CEO of Zencity, comments: 'Adding Elucd's forward-thinking approach to proactive, representative polling will enable us to provide even more support to local leaders. We're thrilled that with Elucd, we can provide stronger, data-driven strategic guidance to those we serve. With the industry's two leading innovators focused on community feedback now joining forces, we're creating a new standard and streamlining civic engagement for our partners in local government'.
