PUBLIC INFORMATION
IN MOTION




LET’S FUTURE-PROOF
PUBLIC NOTICE TOGETHER

WE ARE WORKING WITH LOCAL MEDIA BUSINESSES TO REWIRE THE ANTIQUATED PROCESSES
BEHIND PUBLIC NOTICE. TOGETHER, WE ARE UPGRADING THE SYSTEMS OF OLD WITH THE
TECHNOLOGY OF NEW FOR THE BENEFIT OF PUBLISHERS AND THE CLIENTS THEY SERVE —
GOVERNMENTS, LAWYERS, BANKS, BUSINESSES, AND EVEN SOMEONE LOOKING TO CHANGE
THEIR NAME.



When technology works, it takes something difficult and makes it easy. We’ve
partnered with publishers to do exactly that. As early as the formation of
common law, public notice is a codified democratic principle that basically
says, “If it’s important to the citizenry, you’ve got to tell them about it.”
It’s a measure of honesty and integrity. Protecting people and keeping the
powers that be in check. And while the principle of public notice has stood the
test of time — the process, not so much.



Today, newspaper staff are overwhelmed with email chains of proofs and piles of
affidavits. Governments and lawyers find themselves playing phone tag with the
newspaper, uncertain how much it will cost or if their notice will be published
in time. We built Column to help publishers streamline the process, deliver a
delightful experience for their clients, and get home from work on time.








PROBATES. BIDS. BUDGETS.

YOU KNOW, ALL THE FUN STUFF.

We provide publishers with a user-friendly public notice software platform to
streamline operations and deliver modern solutions for their clients required by
law to place notices — governments, legal services, individuals, and businesses.

POWERING THE PUBLIC INFORMATION ECOSYSTEM

INTRODUCING COLUMN’S API

We help organizations use structured public information to better understand the
communities they serve. Whether it is press associations defending public
notice, nonprofits researching information access, or companies making business
decisions, we revel in making public information not just accessible, but
useful.

HOW WE GOT STARTED

“WHEN ART CRITICS GET TOGETHER THEY TALK ABOUT FORM AND STRUCTURE AND MEANING.
WHEN ARTISTS GET TOGETHER THEY TALK ABOUT WHERE YOU CAN BUY CHEAP TURPENTINE.”



Growing up, our founder and CEO Jake Seaton worked as a paperboy and reporter
for his family’s five-generation local newspaper, the Manhattan Mercury, in the
town known as the Little Apple – Manhattan, Kansas. Jake’s lifelong proximity to
the industry put him in a unique position to recognize some of its biggest
challenges — public notice being one of them.







For many of us, Column isn’t the first company we’ve grown and scaled. In fact,
our work has attracted Columnists from Fortune 100 technology companies,
high-caliber work in the federal government, and executive positions at major
media companies. Together, we apply our collective skills as technologists and
passion for solving hard problems to make public information systems more
valuable.
