Citizen Data

Provides data analytics for public opinion

Overview

Citizen Data gathers and analyzes large sets of public and survey data to produce reports and predictive models about public opinion and behavior in the United States. Its products help nonprofits, advocacy groups, political campaigns, and other public-interest organizations understand audiences and engage them effectively. Data comes from surveys, social media, and public records, and results are delivered as reports and actionable insights, with consulting support to interpret and apply findings. The company differentiates itself by acting as a transparent data marketplace for the public interest, combining diverse data sources to offer measurable, reliable insights rather than vague forecasts. Its goal is to help organizations bridge divides and unite Americans by informing strategies on issues like voter support, democracy attitudes, and the spread of disinformation.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Democracy Works' free Elections API partnership with 1,300+ companies creates demand for deeper predictive analytics.
  • U.S. Vote Foundation's civic data APIs enable Citizen Data to build more accurate demographic prediction models.
  • Reader. Voter. Ready. library initiative expands nonprofit audience reach, increasing demand for opinion data collection.

What critics are saying

  • Democracy Works commoditizes voter analytics by providing free official election data directly to tech platforms.
  • State Voice distributes enhanced civic engagement files with census overlays free to 35+ partner organizations.
  • Failure to close $2.5M funding round leaves Citizen Data cash-strapped against free civic data alternatives.

What makes Citizen Data unique

  • Citizen Data integrates survey, social media, and public records data into predictive models competitors cannot easily replicate.
  • CEO Mindy Finn secured $2.5M equity funding to accelerate product development and market expansion aggressively.
  • FairVote partnership since June 2021 provides exclusive access to ranked-choice voting election polling insights.
