ABOUT
Bridgette Washington is the CEO/Founder of RaveVenn -- a bipartisan social media app that empowers and engages young adults (both voters and non- voters) to make better informed decisions that will ultimately preserve our democracy.
Bridgette's background, which includes more than 20 years of medical device sales, strengthened her interest and skillset in motivating hard- to-reach audiences, like surgeons who have a lot at stake, given it's their patients' health at risk. This interest eventually transitioned to politics, where Bridgette became more and more fascinated with how to galvanize another hard-to- reach audience -- young adult voters and non-voters.
In partnership with @1871, an incubator and Think Tank, Bridgette is building the RaveVenn app to: share political news from diverse perspectives; identify and dispel misinformation from AI fake news; provide head-to-head matchups/legislative comparisons of candidates running for office, including which bills they led/wrote or signed; updates on state laws being debated that restrict and/or uphold democracy.
Our democracy has too much legacy in this country to take for granted, while still being too young to just let die. The RaveVenn app will put the power to save our democracy in the hands of the people who matter most -- the (well- informed) voter.
