AboutUs

What we do

We work with organizations to align governance and policy activities with emerging tech roadmaps. We advise them on how to navigate and engage with the technology policy ecosystem — with a focus on artificial intelligence. Our clients range from startups and nonprofits looking to boost their DC-presence, to well-established AI firms needing extra capacity to meet internal governance or policy or needs.
