Cortico

A non-profit 501(c)(3) in cooperation with the MIT Center for Constructive Communication, Cortico brings together human listening and machine learning to fuel public processes and community decision-making. Our online platform, Local Voices Network (LVN), gathers the complex and nuanced stories of people who have historically been underrepresented in policy making and the media. Our analytics tools distill key themes from recorded conversations, enabling our partners to lift up representative perspectives in the voices of real people. Partner organizations value LVN’s capacity for connecting them more deeply with stakeholders and sparking the potential for further engagement while documenting the conversation in a searchable and accessible online format. As we grow our reach and impact, we are looking for new partners who are passionate about harnessing community powered understanding to achieve their impact aims.
