“We are incredibly proud of the business we have built at the intersection of technology and policy,”  Jeb Ory, cofounder and CEO of Phone2Action said in a statement. “Every day, tens of thousands of people use our software to engage on issues they care about. We believe partnering with Frontier Capital will help us accelerate our mission to become the connective tissue between constituents, their government, and the organizations they care about.”
