ABOUT CATALIST

We are Progressives who live our values.

For 15 years, Catalist has been the data utility powering the progressive community. Our partners and clients contribute to this generation and the next generation of innovation in new data, new services, and new tools that help the whole community do better, smarter, and more effective work. Combining our purchasing power lowers the barriers to entry that limit small and local movements competing with big money, industry-backed special interests.

Owned by a trust, Catalist acquires data from a wide variety of sources, but we never sell data for commercial use. We are able to do this without the threat of being bought, sold, or traded to commercial or for profit purposes. 

We collaborate with data-driven civic-minded, Democratic and progressive organizations with a variety of goals: issue advocates, organizers, pollsters, analysts, consultants, campaigners, researchers, and more.

We work with the community, for the community.

OUR TEAM

The Catalist Team is comprised of more than 60 professionals with expertise in system and software development, data science and analytics, and political and issue advocacy. Tech-industry veterans lead our system and software development, Ph.D. data scientists head our in-house Analytics shop. Our Account Executives are seasoned political operatives with a wide array of political experience at the state, local, and federal levels.

We are proud that our commitment to diversity is demonstrated at all levels of the company—staff, senior management, and Board. It takes people with broadly varied backgrounds, ideas, and perspectives, as well as diverse professional and personal experiences, to develop creative, cutting-edge data solutions for the progressive community. This ideal is at the core of our work and has been a driving force behind a decade of innovation at Catalist.
