About Us

Switchboard’s ultimate mission is to help Democrats and other progressives win more elections up and down the ballot with better tools and technology, focused especially on digital efforts. We build effective tools that integrate well with each other and with the best existing tools in the ecosystem, allowing campaigns to save money and execute better, while ensuring that candidates at all levels can afford to run strong campaigns.

We're passionate about building a strong organization to achieve this goal, by:

• Hiring the most talented people in the progressive movement from a variety of backgrounds and perspectives.
• Creating an environment that allows people to thrive and take ownership, instead of simply following directions.
• Helping people achieve their short-term and long-term personal and professional goals, while not causing burnout.
• Compensating people well, including company-paid health/dental/vision coverage and an equity stake in the company.

We were founded in 2021, and have experience leading teams at national campaigns (such as Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg's Presidential campaigns) and global tech companies (such as Quora, Google, and Facebook), but also the humility to want to hire people better than us. And we understand that improving progressive technology is a marathon, not a sprint, so aim to build an organization and culture that lasts through many election cycles.
