Built by campaigners.
For the campaigns that aren't supposed to win.
A small team of former field organizers, finance directors, and comms staffers—tired of watching good candidates lose to bad tools.
No venture capital. No Silicon Valley headquarters. Just conviction and code.
We're not a tech company that discovered politics.
We're campaigners who learned to code.
Every feature we build started with a real problem we faced ourselves. Here's what we've lived—and what we built to fix it.
Field Operations
Our experience
We've knocked thousands of doors, trained volunteers at 6am, and watched spreadsheets crash the night before GOTV.
Every field organizer knows the chaos: mismatched walk lists, volunteers showing up to doors already knocked, hours lost to data entry instead of voter contact.
So we built Ground Game—a field CRM that actually works the way canvassers think. Real-time sync, smart turf cutting, and mobile-first everything.
Communications
Our experience
We've written the 2am press release, crafted the debate prep, and watched candidates go off-message at the worst possible moment.
Staying on message is hard enough. Doing it consistently across email, social, texts, and earned media? Nearly impossible without an army of consultants.
So we built Amplifier—technology that learns your candidate's voice and helps create on-message content across every channel, instantly.
Finance
Our experience
We've run call time, chased pledge cards, and reconciled ActBlue reports at midnight before FEC deadlines.
Campaign finance is brutal: tracking pledges, managing call time lists, donor research, compliance—all while trying to actually raise money.
So we built War Chest—fundraising intelligence that tracks every dollar, surfaces your best prospects, and keeps you compliant automatically.
Digital
Our experience
We've built email lists from scratch, run A/B tests on donation pages, and watched ad budgets evaporate with nothing to show for it.
Digital is supposed to be measurable, but most campaigns are flying blind—no idea which messages resonate or which audiences convert.
So we built Resonance—message testing with virtual focus groups powered by machine learning. Know what works before you spend a dollar.
Data & Analytics
Our experience
We've cut turf at 3am, built voter models in Excel, and merged datasets that should never have been separated in the first place.
Campaign data is scattered across a dozen platforms. VAN exports, ActBlue CSVs, NGP lists—none of it talks to each other.
So we built a unified people database—one source of truth for every voter, donor, and volunteer, with intelligence that actually makes sense of it.
Campaign Management
Our experience
We've held campaigns together with duct tape and hope, made impossible decisions with incomplete information, and somehow got to Election Day.
Campaign managers are drowning. Too many tools, too many fires, and never enough time to step back and see the whole picture.
So we built War Room—your intelligent command center. See everything, prioritize what matters, and finally make decisions with confidence.
We didn't build Akashic from a boardroom.
We built it because we've lived the chaos of understaffed campaigns running on spreadsheets, duct tape, and hope—and we knew there had to be a better way.
What We Believe
Four principles that guide everything we build.
Insurgents deserve firepower
The establishment hoards the consultants, the data, the infrastructure. Challengers get the scraps. We're the armory for everyone else—the underfunded, the overlooked, the candidates who aren't supposed to win.
Technology should anchor, not erase
Tools that keep you true to who you are—not tools that optimize away everything authentic. Every feature we build starts with your voice, your values, your story.
You shouldn't need a tech team
Enterprise power. Campaign-staff simplicity. If a field organizer can't figure it out in five minutes, we built it wrong. Complexity is our problem to solve, not yours.
Built in America, for American democracy
Headquartered in the heartland. No foreign investors. No private equity. We exist to help Democrats win—not to extract revenue from them. Mission over margins.
