Tyler Cooper
Senior Account Executive
Ty brings over a decade of experience at the intersection of government technology and economic development. Having spent seven years at GovSpend working directly with government agencies across the country, Tyler developed a deep understanding of how public sector organizations evaluate, adopt, and scale technology — and what it takes to build the trust that makes those partnerships last. At EcoMap, Tyler focuses on working alongside ecosystem builders — economic development organizations, regional authorities, and public agencies — to help them strengthen the digital foundations that support entrepreneurs and small businesses. His background in GovTech gives him a practitioner’s lens on the unique procurement, compliance, and stakeholder dynamics that shape how government entities approach technology adoption.
