About us
An organization using technology to adapt democracy to the 21st century
What do we do?
We believe in empowering collective intelligence to guarantee democracy. We generate and apply strategies to open public institutions through the design, development and implementation of digital tools that promote citizen participation. We provide consulting services for governments and civil society organizations throughout LATAM to reduce the gap between representatives and represented and generate public policies with greater impact. We promote cultural change through communication campaigns and educational tools that encourage citizen participation.
Mission
Using technology to democratize public institutions.
Vision
To be the benchmark organization throughout LATAM in implementing technology to open public decision making to citizens.
“Today, ideas spread very easily. Our ancient ability to share stories and experiences were nested on the internet, forming a network of knowledge to evolve. However, our government system has not evolved enough and still reserve the power to decide in 'specialists', as it did two centuries ago. The knowledge of the representative is still necessary but must be permeable to collective wisdom. Politics cannot be the monopoly of power but should be the ability to process distributed powers”
