Ep. 1 - Michael Sani: The power of data and social referral

Michael Sani is the co-founder of Bite the Ballot, a massively successful UK voter registration app, and founder of Play Verto, a Tinder-style platform where young users share their opinions about policy. In this episode, we hear about how his team was able to leverage data and social media to get young people engaged in politics. Some key lessons are: Coming up with an exit strategy even when a project succeeds; how data can be used (ethically) to empower people; and how being politically engaged goes hand in hand with being socially engaged.
