Founders

Naseem Makiya

Founder

Naseem (he/him) is the founder of Outvote–a digital organizing platform for campaigns and causes. Outvote empowers volunteers to organize the people they know via text, email, and social media. Outvote then connects that work to the infrastructure of major campaigns and national organizations that have been doing similar work for decades. When he isn't pitching or writing code, Naseem can be found being a foodie with his wife, Pennylynn, and going on long walks with his dog, Lucy.
