History.
In 2006, Jason Kiesel created FreedomSpeaks, a non-partisan political social network that enabled citizens to start grassroots activist campaigns targeting their publicly elected officials. In the spring of 2009, FreedomSpeaks began development on the CitySourced mobile application to help citizen report problems in their neighborhood directly to City Hall. CitySourced officially launched in September 2009 at the 2009 TechCrunch50 startup conference. During the Q&A portion of the presentation, Kevin Rose stated of the application: "I’d like a stream for my neighborhood of things that need to take action on." 
In December 2011, the company raised a $1.3M Series A investment and officially changed its name from FreedomSpeaks, Inc. to CitySourced, Inc.
In March 2013, the company launched ZenFunder, a civic crowdfunding product that allows municipal governments and schools districts to raise funds for specific projects by crowdfunding the proposed projects directly from residents and/or citizens. The ZenFunder product was sunsetted approximately one year later due to a lack of customer demand.
In April 2019, the company merged with government CRM software provider Rock Solid Technologies, Inc. through the backing of the Austin-based private equity firm Strattam Capital.
