Politicians want to update democracies with 21st-century innovations and there is space for us to help them do it.
Thanks to the almost 100 people who joined us for today’s launch of “Leaders or Latecomers? Exploring the Role of Politicians in Democratic Innovation."

How does the Accelerator program’s dolphin tank differ from the more widely known "shark tank” panel?
Dolphin tanks, friendlier versions of their shark tank counterparts, foster candid exchanges between expert speakers and founders of political leadership incubators (PLIs).
We welcomed 7 speakers across Latin America, Europe and Africa to share their knowledge in off-the-record conversations with this year’s cohort of founders.
Dolphin tanks complement individual coaching sessions, group #workshops, and resources offered through our PLI Navigator.
We’ll share more insights about the value of each of these tools in advance of our call for applications for the next Accelerator cohort in April. Please visit accelerator.apolitical.found… for more details ahead of our public information session next month.

Replying to @ApoliticalFound
@ApoliticalFound has launched "Circular Power Politics: A Politician's Guide to Five Opportunities to Lead With and For the People", a guide which explores case studies of democratic innovations from around the world and advocates a shift towards "circular power politics".
We welcomed 7 speakers across Latin America, Europe and Africa to share their knowledge in off-the-record conversations with this year’s cohort of founders. They discussed political landscapes and incubation models with consideration to the latest #politicalcampaigning trends.
Dolphin tanks complement individual coaching sessions, group #workshops and #resources offered through the PLI Navigator. We’ll share more about each of these tools in advance of our call for applications for the next Accelerator cohort in April. accelerator.apolitical.found…

Now more than ever, it’s critical to explore how political leaders could and should use #AI to get more diverse #politicians into office and help them serve their communities well.
Our "Pitfalls and Possibilities" report found that despite its downsides, opportunities exist for #AItools to open campaigning, engagement, and policymaking opportunities to emerging leaders who previously would not have had them. Read the #AIreport: tinyurl.com/Report-AIPL
Shift from defense to offense with us by sharing the report with your networks and reaching out about partnership opportunities.
