This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Founded in 2022, Proximity creates easy-to-use technology that helps candidates, elected officials and organizations connect with people, organize their work and strengthen civic engagement. Founder and CEO Becki Wright, joins us with more.
Becki Wright:
Campaigns run on relationships. But most teams run their relationships across five tools, ten spreadsheets, and a hundred text threads. With contacts in one place, outreach in another, and events somewhere else, it’s like hunting for that one charging cord you need in a drawer full of tangled cables from phones you don’t even own anymore. Proximity brings it closer together.
We’re software powering democracy — a modern platform that helps campaigns and community leaders organize contacts, run outreach, manage fundraising and keep supporters engaged from start to finish. With built-in automation and AI support, Proximity helps teams stay on top of priorities, spot what needs attention and make smarter decisions faster without losing the personal touch.
The result is simple: less time managing tools, and more time building trust. Whether you’re asking for votes, gathering signatures, inviting volunteers or just engaging with your community, Proximity turns connection into action.
Because democracy works best when your tools work best.
