POGO (Politics on the Go)

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.
