GetThru was created by veterans of Bernie 2016, where we helped build the campaign’s historic voter contact operation. In the process, we saw the need for better technology for large scale 1-to-1 interaction that reaches people where they are—on their cell phones. So after leaving the campaign, we created ThruText, our P2P texting platform. Two years later, we released our phone calling solution, ThruTalk. More than 1,000 organizations— including political campaigns, advocacy groups, unions, colleges, universities, independent schools, and government agencies—have used our tools. They’ve sent over 180 million text messages and made more than 40 million calls for event recruitment, volunteer engagement, fundraising, voter identification and outreach, polling, and more. And while our roots are in progressive politics, we love partnering with organizations of all kinds that share our passion for creating a better world.

🌟 Shoutout to Brian Meeker for rocking Stir Trek this year! 🌟 We’re super proud of Brian, who gave an awesome talk sharing how our team tackled a big scaling problem with some clever tech solutions, breaking down our new data processing pipeline and how we made our system more flexible for the future. Even if you don’t have a software development background, Brian’s insights are super interesting and definitely worth a watch! You can see the full session title, description, and link below. Messaging With Limits: Concurrent, Multi-Stage Data Processing in the Real World -- Our team at GetThru found ourselves with a scaling problem. Working with our existing infrastructure for sending text messages was becoming increasingly complex. Years of bewildering external requirements had led us to the point where the existing system was both incorrect and difficult to reason about. In this session, we'll go over a case study of our new concurrent, multi-stage data processing pipeline. Starting from the fundamentals, we'll see how our team efficiently handled our existing external requirements and built in flexibility for the future. Finally, we'll look at how we did all of this in our existing monolith, avoiding the complexity of microservices.

Attending the West Coast Meeting of the Minds Annual Giving and Advancement Services Conference? Join our Director of Sales, Education, Rachel Cleary, for a presentation on P2P texting compliance. When peer-to-peer (P2P) texting was the next big thing for fundraising, it was a bit of a regulatory and compliance Wild West. Much has changed since then, and if you’re spending time, energy, and budget on a P2P texting program, it’s important to make sure your program is compliant with all the relevant rules and regulations. Rachel will take you through the ins and outs of P2P texting compliance, including demystifying 10DLC, and what the FCC and TCPA have to do with your texting program. We’ll do our best to make it fun, and you’ll come away with the knowledge you need to make sure your P2P texts get through.
