First doors knocked — dashboard filling in

A vision ten years in the making.

Daniel saw what was missing in the canvassing space — a tool that was actually fun to use, simple to get started with, and freely available to any campaign that needed it. For nearly a decade, he held onto a clear vision: canvassing software should empower volunteers, not slow them down.

That vision became Activate — a free canvassing app built to strengthen democracy at the local level. We believe every candidate, regardless of budget or background, deserves the tools to connect with their community and earn every vote. No credit card required. No gatekeeping. Just show up and organize.
