  • Mission

    Psst is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization reimagining how people can safely speak out against

    concentrated power. As the personal, professional, and legal risks of whistleblowing continue

    to grow, Psst builds collective structures that make it safer—and more effective—for individuals

    to raise concerns about wrongdoing in Silicon Valley, Washington DC, and beyond.

    About Us

    At the core of Psst’s approach is collectivising whistleblowing to reduce isolation and diffuse

    risk. Through its secure repository, Psst Safe, tech and government insiders can confidentially

    record concerns—large or small—about abuses of power while protecting their identities.

    Rather than requiring individuals to stand alone, Psst enables people to contribute to a shared

    body of information, where deposits can be analyzed together to identify patterns, strengthen

    claims, and support collective action. When stories or legal pathways emerge, contributors can

    choose whether and how to participate, with legal, digital, and personal safety measures

    prioritized at every step.

    Beyond Psst Safe, Psst provides hands-on support across the whistleblowing journey. Psst

    Protect offers direct guidance and resources for individuals considering more traditional

    disclosure routes. Psst Story helps people organize, contextualize, and publish information—

    either independently or in partnership with journalists. Through Psst Advocate, Psst works to

    ensure disclosures lead to sustained accountability and structural change, rather than fleeting

    attention.

    Psst is built on the belief that speaking out should not require extraordinary personal sacrifice.

    By combining collective infrastructure with individualized care, Psst strengthens the ability of

    the public to understand and challenge powerful institutions.
