About / Our story
We started Uprise because the movement deserved better tools than the ones it was renting.
In 2016, a handful of engineers and organizers got tired of watching campaigns lose donations to slow, template-locked platforms. So we built our own — and then we built them for everyone fighting for a fairer country.
Today we're a distributed, unionized studio of designers, engineers, and strategists. We only work with the progressive movement, and we measure our success in wins — not billable hours.
What we believe
Mission over metrics
We only work with the progressive movement. If it does not move the cause forward, we do not build it.
Ship at the speed of politics
Deadlines do not move for us, so we do not miss them. Filing dates, debate nights, election days — we are ready.
Accessible to everyone
Every voter, every donor, every device. Accessibility is not a feature we add — it is how we build from line one.
Radically transparent
Open roadmaps, honest estimates, and code you own. No black boxes, no lock-in, no surprises on the invoice.
