Follow the Funds
A citizen dashboard that turns scattered public spending data into a clear, accessible view of where tax money actually goes — starting in Austria and built to scale across borders.
The problem
Public spending data exists, but it's practically inaccessible. This leaves citizens vulnerable to misinformation about how their taxes are actually spent.
The solution
Follow the Funds — a citizen dashboard that makes public spending data accessible, digestible, and transparent.
Who it's for
Anyone who wants to understand where their tax money goes. Transparency in public spending is a cornerstone of a functioning democracy.
What we built & tested
A full data pipeline that retrieves publicly available spending data, a database for storing and pre-processing it, and a platform that presents it in a clear, accessible format.
Next step
Starting with Austria, we're now working to expand across borders, secure funding, and build connections with key stakeholders.
