Hypepotamus. Try saying that three times.

For those who haven’t heard of the news outlet before, Hypepotamus is a Southern-founded digital news publication with a focus on technology and startup news across the Southeast. The team passionately believes in the Southern entrepreneurial spirit and opportunity, and chose to feature Citibot in a recent article.

Hypepotamus crafted an incredibly accurate and eloquent article on Citibot, and our team was moved by how well the piece captured both the technical and human sides of our brand.

In the article, Citibot CEO Bratton Riley shares what inspired him to make government accessible for all:

‘“When I was kid, I literally grew up in City Hall. Now as an adult and engaged citizen, I really appreciate all that local government does for citizens and the relationship of proximity between local government and its citizens,” says Riley. “I grew up with a lot of privilege, which included being able to get a quick phone call back from city government because of my last name,” says Riley. “Your average citizen obviously has not been afforded that privilege.”’

Citizen engagement and digital equity are the two principles that guide us every day, and we continue to be inspired by the possibilities of improving communities through technology.
