  • About Us

    Mission:

    We use big data to build a healthier democracy.

    Vision:

    We believe that democracy needs a better data scientist. We build data-driven solutions for our democracy's entrenched problems like long lines at the ballot box, voting access disparities, and gerrymandered redistricting boundaries.

    Values:

    Spirit of Collaboration:

    As a tech nonprofit, our work is done to benefit the community at-large. That's why we collaborate with external partners whenever possible.

    Data Quality:

    Our analytics are only as good as the quality of our data. Our in-house engineering team places a high priority on reproducibility and responsible scientific and research principles constantly checking data.

    Non-Partisan:

    There is nothing partisan about protecting the right to vote. We let the data speak regardless of what it says, and we share it to support. We only work with other non-partisan organizations who align with our mission to build a healthier democracy.
