PlaceSpeak

PlaceSpeak is a location-based public engagement platform. PlaceSpeak’s pioneering civic network strengthens public trust and ultimately builds stronger communities. PlaceSpeak’s mission is to enable evidence-based decision making. It accomplishes this by authenticating the digital identity of participants to their physical location while protecting individual privacy. PlaceSpeak’s high-level vision reflects its founding commitment to democratic principles including popular control, transparency and accountability. PlaceSpeak's citizen-centric model puts people at the heart of the process. Our civic network makes it easy for people to stay informed and have a say on local issues, while ensuring that individual privacy is protected. PlaceSpeak provides decision-makers with confidence that the feedback collected is coming from real, relevant people – not bots or trolls.

Our unique geo-verification technology connects participants’ digital identity to their physical location, ensuring that the feedback collected can confidently be used for evidence-based decision-making.
