What Prospectus Group does

Prospectus Group LLC (doing business as Progroup) is a privately held, founder-owned software and services company founded in 2008 by Ben Gleason, PhD and Marcus Bouligny. The company builds and operates ECCO, a cloud-based public health data platform designed for substance use prevention providers and state government agencies. ECCO is purpose-built for SAMHSA federal compliance reporting, offering direct access to SAMHSA Tables 5ab and 31-36, real-time data visualization, electronic surveys distributed via links and QR codes, and an Electronic Records System (ERS) that consolidates implementation plans, process data, and outcome data with custom reporting. Since its first release in 2008, ECCO has evolved through five major iterations (Versions 1-4 and the ERS) and now anchors a portfolio of modules including ECCO Build (construction management software), ECCO Grants Administration (a Title IV-E claiming database developed with Metropolitan State University of Denver), and The Library & Concierge Service (a curated repository of evidence-based interventions). The company also offers standalone Evaluation Services covering survey design, quantitative and qualitative methods, technical assistance, and stakeholder focus groups.

The business model combines SaaS subscriptions (ECCO, ECCO Build, ECCO Grants Administration) with professional services revenue (Evaluation Services and custom data solutions). Prospectus sells primarily through enterprise field sales targeting state agencies, universities, and nonprofit consortia, supplemented by Calendly-scheduled demos, direct email outreach, and a LinkedIn showcase page. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is relationship-driven, with co-founders and partners personally engaging decision-makers such as Branch Chiefs and Project Directors at flagship clients including the Georgia, California, and North Carolina state governments.

Prospectus operates from three offices—San Francisco (headquarters), Atlanta, and Osaka—with the Osaka office supporting a localized Japanese-language version of ECCO Build. The company remains founder-controlled with no disclosed external institutional funding and a small multidisciplinary team spanning web development, database architecture, project management, public health research, and training. Strategic emphasis has been on deepening SAMHSA compliance specialization, expanding the Title IV-E grants administration footprint through university partnerships, and selectively extending the ECCO architecture into adjacent verticals such as construction project management.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Procore: Procore is the leading construction management SaaS platform. It competes directly with Ecco Build in project scheduling, team communication, and customer-portal capabilities, but at vastly larger scale.
• Tyler Technologies: Tyler Technologies sells broad public-sector software including health and human services platforms. It competes for state-government IT budgets alongside ECCO but addresses a much wider portfolio of agency needs.
• Socrata (Tyler Data & Insights): Socrata, now part of Tyler Technologies, provides open-data and reporting platforms for state and local governments. It overlaps with ECCO's data visualization and reporting capabilities for public-sector clients.

Direct peers

• REDCap: REDCap is a widely adopted electronic data capture platform for research and clinical workflows. Like ECCO, it enables electronic survey design, data capture, and compliance reporting, and is used across academic and public-sector research settings.
• Mathematica: Mathematica delivers policy research and evaluation services for federal and state agencies, including health and human-services programs. It parallels Prospectus's research-services practice and competes for similar state-government engagements.
• Westat: Westat provides large-scale program evaluation and research services for federal and state agencies. It is comparable to Prospectus Group's Evaluation Services line, including quantitative, qualitative, and survey-based public-health program assessment.

Emerging players

• SurveyMonkey: SurveyMonkey offers consumer-friendly electronic survey distribution with QR-code and multi-device support comparable to ECCO's electronic-survey feature. It targets a broader, less compliance-driven audience.
• findhelp (Aunt Bertha): findhelp operates a social-care referral and outcomes platform used by state agencies and providers. It shares the same public-sector health-and-human-services buyer as ECCO and represents a comparable emerging player in prevention/social-services data.
• Qualtrics: Qualtrics provides enterprise survey and experience-management software that overlaps with ECCO's electronic-survey and stakeholder-feedback capabilities, though it is a horizontal platform rather than a SAMHSA-specific compliance tool.

Others

• Tableau (Salesforce): Tableau is already integrated into ECCO for data visualization and represents the broader BI/analytics stack that surrounds compliance-reporting workflows. It is an enabling technology partner rather than a direct competitor.
