The Net Democracy Foundation was created in 2012 with a vision to modernize democracy through technology. They developed DemocracyOS, an online and mobile app that allows citizens to get informed, debate issues, and vote on bills. Over 3,000 citizens used the app to vote on 40 bills from Congress. The Foundation also created The Net Party, the first political party in Latin America to finance itself through crowdfunding. In its first year, The Net Party received 22,000 votes, presented its ideas internationally, and helped democracy activists in other countries. Going forward, the Foundation aims to maintain a full-time staff and continue projects that use technology to foster more open democracies worldwide.
