Building Utah

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Founded in 2022, Proximity creates easy-to-use technology that helps candidates, elected officials and organizations connect with people, organize their work and strengthen civic engagement. Founder and CEO Becki Wright, joins us with more. Becki Wright: Campaigns run on relationships. But most teams run their relationships across five tools, ten spreadsheets, and a hundred text threads. With contacts in one place, outreach in another, and events somewhere else, it’s like hunting for that one charging cord you need in a drawer full of tangled cables from phones you don’t even own anymore. Proximity brings it closer together. We’re software powering democracy — a modern platform that helps campaigns and community leaders organize contacts, run outreach, manage fundraising and keep supporters engaged from start to finish. With built-in automation and AI support, Proximity helps teams stay on top of priorities, spot what needs attention and make smarter decisions
