About LobbySherpa

We open the black box so you never miss the moment.

Democracy shouldn't require a decoder ring. We built the tool we wished existed.

Why we exist

Good bills die and bad bills thrive because the right people didn't know in time.

State legislatures are hard to follow. Bills change at midnight. Amendments get buried in procedural language. Two thousand testimonies land and you have two hours to understand what they're saying. For the well-resourced, that's a manageable problem. For everyone else, it's an impossible one.

Fortune 500 companies have entire government affairs teams dedicated to tracking and influencing legislation. They have the people, the access, and the budget to make sure nothing slips past them. The small boutique lobbying firm juggling dozens of clients, the trade association stretching a tight budget, the nonprofit fighting for its mission, the engaged citizen who just wants a fair shot at being heard: none of them have the access they deserve. The playing field has never been level. It was designed that way.

We think that's backwards. And we're doing something about it.

How we operate

The promise behind every decision we make.

These aren't product features. They're the beliefs that shape what we build, what we refuse to build, and who we build it for.

01

We are not the hero. You are.

Our job is to carry the heavy load and filter the noise: getting you the right information at the right moment so you can do the advocacy work that matters. We're a tool, not a replacement for your expertise.

02

Clarity is a form of respect.

We show you exactly what changed, word by word. We treat complex systems as things worth understanding, not obstacles to route around. We trust your intelligence.

03

Accuracy before everything.

We bring the receipts. Every AI-generated summary and insight is accompanied by the source documentation behind it, so you can verify what we're telling you before you act on it. That's how we earn your trust without breaking the trust of your clients.

04

Institutions deserve respect, even broken ones.

We're not here to disrupt democracy. We're here to make it more legible. We use our knowledge of how the Capitol actually works to help you participate in it more effectively.

05

Mission-driven work deserves mission-aligned pricing.

The same caliber of legislative intelligence that well-funded insiders have always had, priced for the people who actually need it most.

Confidentiality

Your clients, your strategy, your information.

Legislative advocacy runs on trust. The relationships you have, the clients you represent, the positions you're working: none of that is anyone else's business.

We built LobbySherpa with that assumption baked in from the start. We surface public data. What you do with it is yours alone.

We are not in the business of knowing your clients' business.

Account isolation

Your account and client data is completely isolated. What you track, who you represent, and how you work is never visible to other users, other accounts, or other clients.

No AI training on your activity

Your usage, your client context, your tracking patterns: none of it trains models.

Public record, private workflow

All legislative data we surface is public OLIS record. How you engage with it is not.

The Sherpa Promise

To our customers, we promise to be your guide through the complex terrain of the legislative process.
