For nearly three years, Ogundipe had toiled to gain traction with his company Civic Eagle, which used a consumer-facing app to try to counter the political apathy Ogundipe and his cofounders, Yemi Adewunmi and Shawntera Hardy, found so prevalent in state and local matters.
“We wanted to create a world in which political information was easily accessible and would empower voters to take political action and become more civically engaged,” says Ogundipe, citing the August 2014 police shooting of a Black man named Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO, which sparked widespread social unrest, as a driving force behind Civic Eagle’s launch.
