Peak Democracy is always looking for motivated people that share our vision of using the Internet to improve civic engagement and its role in democracies -- across the globe from technically-advanced communities to developing countries.

Founders
Peak Democracy was co-founded by Robert Alan Vogel and Michael Alvarez Cohen, both experienced entrepreneurs in the information technology sector. Robert most recently started, ran and successfully sold a pharmaceutical software business. Michael is a Harvard MBA and has held various executive management positions with high tech companies in Silicon Valley. Robert is Peak Democracy’s CEO and Michael is a board member.
Peak Democracy is a for-profit corporation. However, the co-founders intend to run it as a socially responsible (triple bottom-line) company with an orientation towards the environment (i.e. sustainability) and equity, as well as economics (i.e. profits).
