From seconds to centuries

time reimagined for everyday leaders

coming march 17, 2026 The democracy investment guide: Senate Edition

Ads are coming at you from every direction. The news never ends. You can’t tell which rising star won’t make it past a primary, and which sleeper race can make the most of your $25.

Hell, you’re not even sure if elections matter anymore.

Leveraging 22 years of experience from knocking on doors to advising an actual US Senator, this guide lets you skip the research and deploy resources where they matter most.

Most Political Donations Get Wasted

I’ve been doing this for 22 years—since knocking on doors in Pennsylvania during the 2004 election.

Here’s what I’ve learned: the candidates who flood your inbox with urgent asks are rarely the ones who need your money most.

In 2017, I made an early bet on a longshot House candidate when he was just testing whether to run. He won in the 2018 Blue Wave. I kept backing him. Now he’s in the U.S. Senate.

That’s not luck. It’s portfolio strategy.

The frameworks I learned at Stanford GSB and leveraged corporate strategy and my investment portfolio? They work for democracy investing too.

The Democracy Investment Guide applies a proprietary evaluation rubric (built with 100+ hours of AI-assisted research) to help you deploy resources where they’ll create the most leverage for democratic values and institutions.

This isn’t about who to vote for. It’s about where to invest strategically when the American experiment is at risk.

The Senate Edition launches March 17. It’s the first in a series of guides that help you make smarter commitment decisions across every domain—political, professional, personal.

Because leadership in 2026 isn’t about doing everything.

It’s about curating commitments that actually matter.
