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 are tasked with innovating on products while trying to win national-scale campaigns. Our programming is designed to spark and nurture new collaborations and startups, and to strengthen the bonds of connectivity across progressive tech.
