Young people care deeply about their communities but often feel disconnected from politics and overwhelmed by misinformation, polarization, and systems not built for them. POGO is a civic engagement platform for Gen Z and Millennials that makes it easier to discover candidates, understand issues, connect with civic organizations, and participate in democracy year-round. We’ve reached 1,000+ beta users, built a community of 1,200+ subscribers, and generated 17,000+ civic actions through early testing and engagement. We’re raising to accelerate product development and deepen our research-driven approach, including hiring a Head of Research to lead user and voter behavior research and translate insights into product design.
