  • About Us

    Engine supports the growth of technology entrepreneurship through economic research, policy analysis, and advocacy on local and national issues. Engine is a 501(c)(3)/(4) non-profit organization that works with thousands of startups across the country to advocate for pro-startup, pro-entrepreneurship policy. The vast majority of these startups can't afford lobbyists or a trade association, but their voice should be front and center as policymakers think about innovation, Internet, and technology policy.

    As a non-profit, Engine is supported by a wide range of technology companies—many of which were startups themselves—as well as philanthropic organizations that believe in fostering the U.S. startup ecosystem through smart policy. Engine operates independent of its funders, and its policy work is guided by ongoing conversations with startups in the network.
