Company profile
researched Sep 2026GoLogic is a Chicago-based software company whose product, GoTackle, is a single technology platform for the small business support ecosystem.

GoLogic is also described as a data aggregation and economic development platform that helps small businesses grow and reduce failure rates while increasing the capacity and capabilities of the organizations that serve them.
Founding story
Founder and CEO Patrice Darby Neely worked for many years in childcare before launching a first startup, GoNanny, which aimed to streamline care solutions for families with demanding schedules and built a waiting list described as growing from 5,000 to 10,000 families. GoNanny struggled during the economic disruption of COVID-19. The pandemic exposed Neely to the vulnerabilities of small businesses and the inefficiencies in connecting them to timely resources, which led her to found GoLogic to address those gaps.
Business model
GoLogic sells access to the GoTackle software platform to institutions in the small business support ecosystem rather than directly serving small businesses alone; the platform's value proposition to these organizations is reduced administrative workload and better measurement of economic impact.
