Beckton Peddy is the co-founder and CEO of Povi, where he's building the livestreaming platform for politics: a place to argue, persuade, and be heard live, instead of shouting into a feed tuned for outrage. He came up through venture capital and the nonprofit world, and started Povi after years of watching independent political commentators do amazing work while being stuck on platforms that were never built for what politics actually needs. He's the non-engineer who sweats every product detail, drawn to big problems where the end goal is to do real good at scale.
