FastDemocracy is a legislative analytics platform designed to put the government at your fingertips, giving users the ability to track legislation, share it, and really understand what is going on with legislation, and understand the inflection points in order to create change. In this conversation, I talk with co-founders Anatolij Gelimson and Sara Baker, a married co-founding team, about how each of their skill sets combined to create this product, how they market it to nonprofits and companies, as well as the education gaps they each had to fill along the way. 

And of course, I couldn’t let them go without asking about what it’s like to be a married co-founding partnership. This was a really interesting conversation, and as you’re listening to this, the app for FastDemocracy just dropped, so be sure to check it out and thank them for coming on the show.
