Higher Ground Labs is building an ecosystem for progressive political technology. We provide capital, assistance, programming, and mentorship to talented individuals and early-stage companies that are building the next generation of progressive political technology that can help win campaigns. The current ecosystem around progressives' campaign and persuasive tech is broken. It lacks committed capital, sustained mentorship, and a network of active supporters to make new ideas successful. Rather than build tech and data infrastructure from the bottom up, progressives have instead relied on Presidential campaigns as their innovation hubs, generating a recurring pattern of short-term thinking from hard-working but under-resourced campaign staff who tasked with innovating on products while trying to win national-scale campaigns.

Greenfly is an enterprise SaaS company and the leader in advocacy marketing. The Greenfly digital media exchange platform enables organizations to fuel brand love by tapping the social media power of their advocates. Emotional connection is the key to building a brand that people love. You can’t buy it – brand love is earned through genuine interactions, personal connections and real word-of-mouth. Sports, media, entertainment, social causes, and agent-driven organizations depend on Greenfly’s advocacy marketing platform to easily share short-form media. When advocates share great photos and videos on their social profiles, it creates personal engagement with the brand’s customers. Organizations can extend their organic social media reach by 1,000% or more, and brand advocacy can be more effective and much less expensive than social advertising.Greenfly started helping sports and entertainment brands in 2014, and has been named one of the fastest-growing organizations in California by Inc. magazine. Headquartered in Santa Monica, California, Greenfly has sales offices across the U.S. and Europe.
